1 Corinthians 15:12-20
If Christ was resurrected from the dead, how can anyone say there is no resurrection? Christ is the firstfruits of those who those who die (and will be resurrected).

"As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love. I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full."
Christ died for our sins in accordance with scripture, was buried, was raised from the dead, and appeared to many disciples as the resurrected Christ.
"Vengan, y razonemos juntos", dice Yahvé: "Aunque sus pecados sean tan escarlata, serán blancos como la nieve. Aunque sean rojos como el carmesí, serán como lana".
If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong. Faith, hope, and love abide, and the greatest of these is love.
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. I am the vine. You are the branches."
Members of the church, though many, are one. None are unimportant. All gifts are equally important. Do all have the gift of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Paul says, "I will show you a still more excellent way," which is the way of love.
"I said these things to you, while still living with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."
There are many gifts, but one Spirit. There are many services, but one Lord. All gifts are given by the same Spirit as the Spirit chooses. Members of the church, though many, are one.
