Why Christ’s Resurrection Matters
Paul’s short answer in 1st Corinthians 15:16-19 is that if Christ was not raised then you are still in your sins. In Paul’s thinking sin brought biological and spiritual death into the world. The key historical fact is that our first ancestors disobeyed God and the result was spiritual death, (banished from God) and biological death, we will return to the soil we were made from. Genesis 3:19 The antidote to this terrible outcome is to obey God by having faith in Christ. Look at John 6:28-29 “What exactly does God want us to do?”, the people asked. 29 Jesus answered, “God wants you to have faith in the one he sent”. The result of believing in Jesus is a better life now and resurrection from our dead bodies. To get the full story come to church this Easter.
