The Conquest of Death

April 14, 2024

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 — How has God overcome death and sin? According to holy Scripture, it is by dying upon the cross in the place of sinners and rising from the dead! For sin can only be removed by a sacrifice, and Jesus dying upon the cross was the sacrifice for the sins of all who believe. He rose from the dead as a proclamation that He has overcome death Himself, and that all who believe in Him will also rise from the dead. Listen to this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 to hear Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preach on this great theological truth that also has profound implication for our everyday lives. It gives us hope and purpose knowing that there is life after this, because Jesus has died for us and saved us from all sin. How are we to respond to the message of the Gospel and Christ’s victory over death by the resurrection? We must forsake our sins and come to God. We must repent and believe in Jesus because He has truly overcome all evil and sin. Jesus alone can save sinners. For the resurrection is not merely something sentimental, but it is the power of God over all evil. The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation for all our hope in this life.
