The Most Important Gospel
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 HCSB
Paul shared the most important and essential truth of the gospel. Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again just as Scriptures had promised. Jesus’ sacrificial and substitutional death on the cross atoned for our sins, paid the ransom that redeemed sinful people from eternal punishment. Jesus was dead and was placed in a tomb, but on the third day He arose from the grave! Alive! Risen from the dead! Hallelujah!
Lord Jesus, because I believe in Your death, burial, and resurrection, my sins are forgiven. I, and all who trust in You, will be raised to spend eternity with You in Heaven.
