1. Read all of 1 Corinthians 15. What is the subject of Paul’s attention

Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:55-58 in this chapter? How important does he say it is? Why?

Statement: Jesus Christ defeated death and
became my confidence, my purpose, and my
reward.
I. Christ conquered death! (vv. 55 — 57)
2. Reread 1 Corinthians 15:55. What two questions are asked? How
do you think death would respond to these questions? Why does
it sometimes seem that there is still sting and victory in death?
3. How does the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead remove
the sting and victory of death? What does the Bible say happens
to a Christian when he dies? (Consider John 3:16, 18, 36; 2 Cor.
5:6-8; Phil. 1:23; 1 Cor. 15:50-54; 1 Thess. 4:13-17; Hebrews
9:27-28). What happens to an unbeliever? (Luke 16:19-31; Rev.
20:11-15; Matt. 25:30; Daniel 12:2; John 8:24)

4. Why does Paul say that sin is the sting of death (Romans 6:23) and
the law is the power of sin (Romans 7)?

5. According to verse 57, how can we have victory over death? Who
II. Christ is my confidence, my purpose,
can we think for this? What did Jesus have to do to secure eternal
and my reward. (v. 58) life for us (consider all of 1 Cor. 15)? How do we receive it?

6. What charge is given to all Christians in verse 58? What does it

mean to be steadfast and immovable? What kind of work are we
to be doing? What is our reward?

7. Are you living each day in light of the resurrection? If not, why?
What would Paul say to you?
