How to Have a Healthy Church
summary
Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 15:1–11 that the resurrection of Jesus is not just a belief but a reality that reshapes everything. The gospel is something received, held, and lived in, and its central truth—the risen Christ—shakes up our beliefs, our defining story, and our entire life trajectory. Jesus’ resurrection confronts every competing worldview, reorders our understanding of life, and transforms people like Paul himself from pride and opposition to humility and grace. Because Christ is truly risen and still at work through his witnesses, the church is called to live as resurrection people whose lives are redefined by the grace and power of God.
