If Christ be not Risen

“Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ whom He raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.”
 (I Corinthians 15:15)

In this verse and the next few verses in I Corinthians 15 we find some results of Christ not being raised from the dead, if indeed He were still in the grave.

If Christ be not risen:

• We are found to be false witnesses. (15:15)
• Our faith is vain, worthless. (15:17)
• Folks who believe in His resurrection are still in their sins. (15:17)
• Our loved ones who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. (15:18)
• Our baptisms are done in the name of a dead man. (15:29)
• Those who suffered difficulties from service and ministry for the Lord in His name have done so for nothing. 

An old song says, “I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today, I know that He is living, whatever men may say...”
