The Resurrection: Actual History or Mere Belief? 1 Corinthians 15:1-34

Context of 1 Corinthians 15 Resurrection of Jesus Christ Resurrection of believers who have passed away
1 Corinthians 15:1-8 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel [good news] I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.
1 Corinthians 15:1-8 2 By this gospel [good news] you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:1-8 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures [Old Testament Scriptures],
1 Corinthians 15:1-8 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas [Peter], and then to the Twelve.
1 Corinthians 15:1-8 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:1-8 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
The resurrection is a central part of the gospel of Jesus Christ (vv.1-8)
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
The historicity of the resurrection is the linchpin of the Christian faith (vv.12-19)

1 Corinthians 15:20-27 20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
1 Corinthians 15:20-27 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
1 Corinthians 15:20-27 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:20-27 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he has put everything under his feet.
The resurrection is the ultimate proof that death will be defeated by Christ s life (vv.20-28)
1 Corinthians 15:32-34 (NLT) 32 And what value was there in fighting wild beasts those people of Ephesus if there will be no resurrection from the dead? And if there is no resurrection, Let s feast and drink, for tomorrow we die!
1 Corinthians 15:32-34 (NLT) 33 Don t be misled, for bad company corrupts good character. 34 Think carefully about what is right, and stop sinning. For to your shame I say that some of you don t know God at all.
