Summary
Paul declares in 1 Corinthians 15 that Christ's death, burial, and resurrection are the gospel's foundation—the only basis for salvation. Without the resurrection, Christianity is pointless; with it, believers receive forgiveness, freedom from sin's bondage, and hope of eternal life.
Highlights
The distance between my righteous acts and God's holiness is so great it is greater than the expanse of the universe.
You're not beyond the grace of his transformation. The depth of your sin is not greater than the heights of his grace and his mercy.
The resurrection is our receipt—evidence that all the things Jesus has said are true, proof that our lives have been purchased, that our future is secure.
