In 1 Corinthians 15:20–26 Paul proclaims that Christ’s resurrection is the firstfruits of those who have died, guaranteeing that all who belong to Him will also be raised. Just as death came through Adam, life comes through Christ, who will reign until every enemy—including death itself—is defeated. The passage climaxes with the promise that the last enemy to be destroyed is death, assuring believers of ultimate victory and eternal life in Christ.
