How To Obtain a Perfect Body. (1 Cor 15: 50-58)

It began with a doubt in the Corinthian church — is there really a resurrection of the dead? That doubt spread into denial, and eventually divided the believers. So, they turned to Paul, and his sweeping answer in 1 Corinthians 15 leaves no room for uncertainty:

• Christ is risen — and because He lives, all who belong to Him will also rise.
• Our perishable bodies cannot inherit eternity — but in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, we will be changed.
• The rapture is coming — whether raised from the grave or transformed while living, every believer will receive the perfect, glorified body that no diet, gym, or surgery could ever produce.
• Death is defeated — its sting removed through Christ’s victory at the cross and empty tomb.

Paul closes with both encouragement and challenge: “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.” (v. 58)

This episode explores the mystery, the triumph, and the hope of the resurrection — and why it should move us to godly living, courageous faith, and overflowing service for Christ.
