A truth or a lie?
The apostle Paul writing to the Corinthians said,
“Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.
By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,” 1 Corinthians 15:1-7
Here is a statement if false makes believing in Christ Jesus to no avail. Paul makes the statement
“that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,”
This belief that Jesus died for the sins of all mankind is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. If Christ did not die for the sins of mankind then there is nothing gained by believing in Him.
If on the other hand as Christians believe Christ died for the sins of mankind and rose on the third day there is everything to be gained. Namely eternal life with God in heaven.
There is also another statement here that Paul makes about Jesus. He states,
“that he (Jesus) was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,”
If this statement is not true it is one of the greatest lies ever told to humanity. It means the estimated three billion Christians alive to day and those that came before them are believing a lie.
I as a Christian believe what Paul is saying. The question is do you?
Please think about it.
