Summary

But if the death of Jesus completely satisfied the Father's wrath towards sin, why does our text say that we are still in our sins if Jesus did not not rise from the dead? The answer is that the resurrection of Jesus was the reward for his sacrifice. If the reward is not given, it is because his sacrifice was deficient. If God will not let his own Son go free from the grave and take his seat at his right hand in glory, it can only be because his sacrifice for our sins was defective. The resurrection of Jesus is what validates the infinite value of the blood of Jesus. If Christ is raised, then his sacrifice is sufficient. Period.

0:00.0	All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
0:04.7	because you're spending your cash in your lives on raising young children in the fear and
0:09.6	admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
0:16.3	Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness
0:23.2	of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star
0:30.2	review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend. We hope
0:36.9	you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much.
0:39.7	God bless. Please join me in standing for the reading of God's word. Our text for today is 1st
0:45.8	Corinthians chapter 15 verses 12 through 19. If you're joining us for the first time, our plan,
0:53.1	starting next Lord's Day, Lord willing,
0:55.1	is to begin an expositional preaching series through the book of Joshua.
1:00.5	But for today, our text is 1 Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 12 through 19.
1:06.3	I'll read our text for us in its entirety.
1:08.3	When I finish reading the text, I'm going to say, this is the word of the Lord, at which point I would appreciate very much if you would respond
1:14.5	by saying, thanks be to God. One final time, 1 Corinthians 15, verses 12 through 19, the Bible says
1:22.4	this, but if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1:30.3	But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
1:35.3	And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.
1:41.3	We are even found to be misrepresenting God because we testified about God
1:47.6	that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if it is true, that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith faith is futile and you are still in your sins
2:04.2	then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished if in Christ we have hope in this life only
2:12.8	then we are of all people most to be pitied. This is the word of the Lord.
