In Christian life, salvation is not our final goal, after salvation how born-again Christian should participate in His resurrection is our living homework on our spiritual journey

Why Are the Dead Raised? (1 Cor. 15:29-34, 49-58)

God is living God : Evangelism of Gospel (v. 29

All believer should testify His resurrection through your resurrection faith.

Transformed life in His death and resurrection

the resurrection of life and go to heaven,

the resurrection of judgment and go to hell (John 5:28-29).

We ought to weep for unbelievers who still have opportunity to be saved!

The reality of the resurrection is a motivation for evangelism. John 12:11

Suffering (vv. 30-32).

“I die daily” and to "dying to live “ as in Rom 6,

the physical dangers Paul faced as a servant of Christ (2 Cor 4:8; 11:23-

The suffering endured in the body will result in glory at the resurrection (2 Cor 4:7-18).

Separation from sin (vv. 33-34).

“Do not be deceived”( not believe resurrection ) "Evil company corrupts good morals"

The believer's body is the temple of God and must be kept separated from the sins of the world (2 Cor 6:14-7:1).

To fellowship with the "unfruitful works of darkness" (Eph 5:6-17) is only to corrupt God's temple.

It was time for all believers to wake up and clean up (see 1 Thess 5:4-11).

Death (vv. 49-57).

Death is not final: participate in His resurrection:

We are crucified with Jesus on His cross Gal2:20

We are resurrected with Jesus Christ to glorify Him

When Jesus returns, the bodies of living believers will instantly be transformed to be like His body (1 John 3:1-3),

The dead believers shall be raised with new glorified bodies. Our new bodies will not be subject to decay or death.

Sin, death, and the Law go together.

The Law reveals sin, and the "wages of sin is death" (Rom 6:23).

Jesus bore our sins on the cross (1 Peter 2:24), and also bore the curse of the Law (Gal 3:13).

Go to heaven with eternal life or go to hell with eternal curse and death.

We experience "the power of His resurrection" in our lives as we yield to Him (Phil 3:10). Without faith we can’t participate in His resurrection

Rely on resurrected Jesus fully in your living

Rely on the Sprit of God , the word of God and obey Him

Seek living God in your life and Sanctify temple of the Sprit everyday

A new life on this earth with Great companion

Born of the Spirit John 3:5 unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Live in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, also walk in the Spirit.

New hope and New desire

The hope of His calling: Ep1:18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

Hope of salvation and Hope of eternal life 1thes 5:8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,

Power of the SpiritLuke 24:49 "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."

When I am weak, then I am strong2Cor12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

How to die daily :Paul’s confession:

I die daily to live with Jesus: He said it is the boasting in you

1 Cor 15:31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

(My old things has gone) I press on toward the Goal to win the prize of calling of God in Christ.

Phi 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Phi 3:8 I consider (all things) them rubbish( I am crucified with Jesus Christ), to gain Christ ( to join in resurrection of Jesus Christ)

3:8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
