The Resurrection, Heavenly Fervor, and Bad Company

As the Apostle Paul continues on with his arguments for the resurrection, he poses two questions which has left many commentators bewildered. In part it’s no a surprise for even the Apostle Peter said some of Paul’s letters contain things that are “hard to understand.” Nevertheless, his firm foundation remained—Christ died for our sins, Christ was buried, and Christ rose again, and therefore because He rose we will rise with Him. This is the bedrock that motivated Paul’s heavenly fervor and caused him to give up everything for Jesus. His warning for the church is wake up, sober up, stop sinning and don’t be deceived. Press on in Jesus, it’s all worth it.
