LWWC - 1st Corinthians - Session 12

Resurrection of Christ

• 
  

  Central to the gospel; without it, faith is empty and we remain in sin.

  
  


• 
  

  Christ is the “first fruits” of resurrection; believers will follow in order.

  
  


• 
  

  Death is the last enemy, but it will be destroyed.

  
  

Resurrection & New Bodies

• 
  

  Our current bodies are sown in weakness, raised in glory.

  
  


• 
  

  Natural body vs. spiritual body: the first Adam (earthly) vs. the last Adam, Christ (life-giving spirit).

  
  


• 
  

  Believers will receive incorruptible, immortal bodies.

  
  

The Rapture (1 Cor. 15:51–52)

• 
  

  “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.”

  
  


• 
  

  Transformation will happen instantly, at the last trumpet.

  
  


• 
  

  Linked to the Feast of Trumpets imagery — readiness is essential.

  
  

Practical Warnings & Encouragements

• 
  

  “Evil company corrupts good habits” — guard your associations.

  
  


• 
  

  Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.

  
  


• 
  

  Your labor in the Lord is not in vain — eternal reward outweighs earthly trials.

  
  

Closing Exhortations

• 
  

  Watch, stand firm in faith, be brave and strong.

  
  


• 
  

  Let everything be done in love.

  
  


• 
  

  Live with expectancy: Maranatha — “Come, Lord Jesus.”
