Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.
He was buried according to the scriptures.
He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
He was seen by Cephas,
He was seen by the twelve.
He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once.
He was seen by James.
He was seen by all the Apostles.
Last of all He was seen by Paul.
We preach and so you believed.
If Christ is not raised, then preaching is empty,
Faith is also empty and futile, and we still remain in our sins.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ,
We are of all men most pitiable.
But now Christ is risen from the dead,
And has become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
In Adam all die, in Christ all shall be made alive.
The first man Adam became a living being.
The last Adam became a life giving spirit.
The first man was of the earth, made of the dust;
The second Man is the Lord from heaven.
Death is swallowed up in victory.
BELIEVE THE TRUTH ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES,
WITHOUT WHICH THERE IS NO HOPE.
