Committed in the Hope of Resurrection
1 Corinthians 15 is Paul’s response to the claim that God will not raise the dead from their graves. Many people in the ancient world (and in today’s world) mocked that idea. However, Paul used the resurrection of Jesus to prove that resurrection has already begun. What God did for Jesus, he will do for us. Our resurrection bodies will be “spiritual,” but this does not mean ethereal or non-physical. It means they will be a product of the Spirit’s creation, rather than a product of natural procreation. Since we know for a fact that our bodies will be transformed into immortal Spirit-created bodies, we should be fearlessly abounding in the work of the Lord, making sure that we don’t do anything to compromise our inheritance of the world to come. (Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:50-58)
