Essential Faith

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.
-1 Corinthians 15:17 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

One of the essentials to our faith is the resurrection of Jesus from the grave. That principle is essential because, if Jesus didn't rise from the grave, we would still be living in our sins. Without the resurrection, we would still be lost.

First Corinthians 15:17 says, "And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins." Without the resurrection, our faith is worthless, it's meaningless. The faith we have is that Jesus died for our sins, and was raised again to pay the penalty for those sins and conquer them once and for all. If you take the resurrection away, then our sins are still separating us from God. 

But, Christ has risen from the grave, and was seen by many witnesses (1 Corinthians 15:3-8). Think About It.
