Hello again,
It is important that we have a true conception of what 'death' is being referred to in 1 Corinthians 15:53-55. For as can be seen by some of the responses within this thread, there is differing understanding concerning what it is. Yet the words of 1 Corinthians 15:21 leaves us in no doubt what is being referred to.
'For since by man came death,
by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
But every man in His own order:
Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at His coming.'
(1Corinthians 15:21-23)
* Death, in 1 Corinthians 15:54 therefore refers to that which came into the world, as a consequence of Adam's transgression.
* Christ rose victorious from the grave, and so will those that are Christ's at His coming, and it is then that the saying ' death is swallowed up in victory' will be realised.
Thank you.
In Christ Jesus
Chris
