From the Apostle Paul
1 Corinthians 15:1-9
1 Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. 2 It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place.
3 I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 4 He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. 5 He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. 6 After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. 7 Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him. 9 For I am the least of all the apostles. In fact, I am not even worthy to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted God’s church.
-1 Corinthians 15:1-9
The EVIDENCE is YOU
...you still stand firm in it...it is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message...
-1 Corinthians 15:1-2
The CRUX is the RESURRECTION
I passed on what was most important...Christ died...He was buried...and He was raised from the dead.
-1 Corinthians 15:3-4
The PROOF is UNDENIABLE
He was seen by Peter...by the twelve...by more than 500...by James...by all the apostles...last of all...I also saw Him.
-1 Corinthians 15:5-8
