Listen Later

In this Bible study on 1 Corinthians 15:33–38, Fr. Gabriel reflects on Paul’s continued teaching about the resurrection and its deep implications for Christian life. Paul warns that “bad company corrupts good habits,” urging believers to surround themselves with godly influences and live according to their belief in the resurrection. He emphasizes that true belief in eternal life must shape our present choices—prompting sacrifice, discipline, and spiritual focus, not indulgence. Paul contrasts a life shaped by resurrection hope with a worldly “eat and drink, for tomorrow we die” mindset. He also begins to address questions about how the dead are raised, introducing the image of a seed that must die before new life can emerge—hinting at the mystery and transformation of the resurrection body. The teaching connects to the season of Lent, where believers fast and repent in anticipation of the resurrection, mirroring Christ’s own self-denial and victory over death.
