In Adam, all Die (1 Corinthians 15:21-22, Romans 5:12) Without the resurrection... * Our faith is futile. * We are still in our sins. * Death is the final enemy. * Life is bleak and hopeless. 2. In Jesus, all will be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:12-19, John 11:25-26) Jesus is risen! This means... * Our faith matters. * We are forgiven. * We live, even though we die. * We have hope. 3. Thanks be to God, who gives us victory in Jesus. * 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, 54-58; John 14:19; 1 Peter 1:3) * The Gospel (The Good News) depends on the resurrection of Jesus.
