This sermon emphasizes the foundational importance of Christ’s resurrection, drawing from 1 Corinthians 15:12–20 to present four key theological truths. First, if Christ is not raised, Christian preaching is meaningless; second, faith in Christ would be futile; third, believers remain in their sins and have no hope beyond the grave; and fourth, Christians are to be pitied most of all if their hope rests solely in this life. However, the sermon affirms the victorious truth that Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, securing both forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal life for those who believe. This resurrection reality not only validates the Christian message but also transforms the way believers live and die.
