6 Reasons Why 1 Corinthians 15 is My Favorite Chapter in the Bible

First Corinthians 15 has always been a favorite of mine. Even before I knew the Bible very well. I knew the power of the words written in this small chapter in the Bible were powerful. In fact I would argue that the Gospel can be preached from this chapter alone. It is our hope and our future joy. If you have a friend who is scientifically stumbled by the Gospel refer to this chapter and pray God will open their eyes to it's wonder, His wonder of future hope. Below is the 6 reasons it is my favorite.

1.       Christ is the basis of the Resurrection – first born V20

2.       Paul compares the resurrection with natural things in creation such as seeds and bodies of different creatures of God and His creation

3.       Reveals that seeds are part of the creation, but different when the bodily form emerges out of the seed VS 35-41

4.       This is the same with human bodily resurrection, the same body, but different in form (like Christ resurrected body) V53

5.       Paul reveals that we have the assurance of this resurrection through Christ V58

6.       Death no longer has victory over the believer V55

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my contemplations.

With Much Joy,
