Consequences of denying the resurrection 1 Corinthians 15:12-19: Paul asked, "If we preach that Christ was raised from death, how can some of you say that the dead will not be raised to life?" If there is no resurrection then Christ was not raised. If the dead were not raised the apostles told lies about God by saying that He raised Christ from the dead. If there is no resurrection their preaching was in vain.

It is an absolute truth that if the dead are not raised to life, then Christ could not have been raised. If Christ was not raised our faith is useless and we are still in our sins. If there is no resurrection those that died with faith in Jesus have perished like all the unbelievers. If there is no resurrection the dead have just come to an end and there is nothing left. The theory of some at Corinth that said there is no resurrection led to the obvious conclusion that, "If our hope in Christ is good only for this life, we are worse off than anyone else."
