A Point from Paul's Pen

A point from Paul's Pen

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?  
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.  
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.  
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.  
For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.  
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.  
If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. 
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 
1 Corinthians 15:12-20.
In Corinth there were people who believed that there was no resurrection from the dead. Just as there are today.
Paul notes that if this is so then our faith as Christians is useless.
The bedrock on which Christianity is based is on the death, his physical resurrection and ascension of Christ into heaven.
Christ died for our sins. He rose conquering death and sin and he ascended to be at the right hand of the father where he will one day judge the world.
Our beliefs as Christians are a three legged stool remove one leg and our beliefs fall apart and all the Christians throughout the ages have believed for nothing.
The beliefs of Christianity are either completely true or they are potentially the biggest lie ever perpetuated on mankind.
Christianity presents to the world the facts that Jesus is the Son of God. That he is indeed God. That died for our sins. That he rose from the dead conquering death and that he ascended into heaven.
Christians asks people to believe that. Do you?
Think about it.
