Risen: If Christ Had Not Risen

Matt Roe

1 Corinthians 15:13-19
For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised
either. And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is
useless. And we apostles would all be lying about God—for we have said that God raised Christ
from the grave. But that can’t be true if there is no resurrection of the dead. And if there is no
resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then
your faith is useless, and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing
in Christ are lost! And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than
anyone in the world.

If Christ had not risen, all

would be a waste of time.
1 Corinthians 15:14
And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless.

If Christ had not risen, all

would be pointless.
1 Corinthians 15:14
And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless,
and your faith is useless.

If Christ had not risen, all

of heaven would be gone.
1 Corinthians 15:18
In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost!

If Christ had not risen, all believers would be

.
1 Corinthians 15:20
But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great
harvest of all who have died.
