The Lighthouse: A Weekly Devotional by Dr. Abidan Shah

The Resurrection | 1 Corinthians 15:17


Listen Later

1 Corinthians 15:17 (NKJV) reminds us: “And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!”


The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a historical event—it is the foundation of the Christian faith. Without it, everything we believe collapses. Paul makes it clear that if Christ had not risen from the dead, our faith would be meaningless and sin would still hold its power over us.


But Christ has risen—and because He lives, everything changes. His resurrection confirms that His sacrifice for our sins was accepted by God and that death has been defeated. It is the ultimate declaration of victory, giving us hope, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life.


The empty tomb, the transformed lives of the disciples, and the countless testimonies of believers throughout history all point to one truth: Jesus is alive. The resurrection assures us that our faith is secure and our future is certain.
