FOR YOU?
The Hope of the Resurrection
• 1 Cor 15:35-44 4 But someone will say, "How
are the dead raised? And with what kind of
body do they come?" 36 You fool! That which
you sow does not come to life unless it dies;
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is
sown a perishable body, it is raised an
imperishable body; 43 it is sown in dishonor,
it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it
is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural
body, it is raised a spiritual body.

Him.”
Belief in the Resurrection
Gives us Victory over Death!
• 1 Cor 15:53-57. 54 But when this
perishable will have put on the
imperishable, and this mortal will
have put on immortality, then will
come about the saying that is written,
"DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in
victory. 55 " O DEATH, WHERE IS
YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE
IS YOUR STING?" 56 The sting of
death is sin, and the power of sin is
the law; 57 but thanks be to God, who
gives us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who

inheritance which is imperishable and
undefiled and will not fade away,
reserved in heaven for you.

confesses, resulting in salvation.
