1 Corinthians 15:12 — Why is it so dangerous to deny the physical and bodily resurrection of believers? There were those in the early Church who denied this doctrine, this is one of the reasons that the apostle Paul wrote this letter to the Corinthians, to dissuade them of this great error. In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:12, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says that without the resurrection, we have no hope. For it is only in the resurrection that Christ completes the redemption that He began on the cross, it is only by the bodily resurrection that death will finally be conquered and vanquished! Jesus died to not only save men’s souls, but also to redeem the whole world from the bondage and corruption of sin. By resurrecting the bodies of those that believe, this corruption that began with the sin of Adam is done away with. It is a lie of the devil that says Christ will not complete the salvation that He began! This resurrection is no mere spiritual event as some have claimed. What doe this mean for you? The bodily resurrection means that Jesus perfectly saves all those that repent and believe in His Gospel. It means that Jesus alone is savior and reconciler between God and sinful man!
