We will be like Jesus! He died and arose in a
glorified state 1 Cor. 15:49 1 John 3:1-3

revealed Rom. 16:25-26, Eph. 3:3-4, 1 Cor. 2:7, 13:2

Victory over death (54-57)
When – these things happen (52)
Death will be swallowed up in victory

Victory over death (54-57)
The sting of death is sin - Death is punishment for sin (1 Cor. 15:22, cf. Rom. 5:12-21)
The strength of sin is the law – because of law there is sin Rom 7:7, 3:20, 4:15
Is law bad? NOT at all!
Victory over death (54-57)
Thanks be to God – the solution!
Victory through Jesus Christ (John 3:16)

Because there is a resurrection, It matters how we live our lives
Be steadfast – moving ahead, not giving up Col. 1:23, Gal. 6:9, Heb. 12:1-2
Therefore, be steadfast… (58)
Immovable – not shaken in one’s beliefs – Psa. 1:3, Eph. 4:14-15
Always abounding – considerably more than expected See 2 Pet. 1:5-11
Therefore, be steadfast… (58)
Abounding in the work of the Lord – Eph. 2:10
Knowing your labor is not in vain in the Lord – our motivation
There is hope in the resurrection
But only to those who have obeyed the gospel – Mk. 16:16, Ac. 2:38
And remain faithful! – Rev. 2:10
Where will you spend eternity?
