1 Corinthians 15:1
Previous Verse
1 Corinthians 15:1
Next Verse

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

Note 1 at 1 Cor. 15:1: Paul had dealt with a number of issues which were reported to him (see Overview in Intro. to 1 Cor., p. 856) as problems in the Corinthian church. Now he begins to address a doctrinal error that had crept into the church. Some of the Corinthians had quit believing in a bodily resurrection of the dead (v. 12). This chapter makes the most complete treatise on the resurrection of the dead in all of scripture.

Note 2 at 1 Cor. 15:1: Three things are necessary for anyone to experience the victorious life that Jesus provided. (1) The gospel has to be proclaimed (Rom. 10:14-17), (2) it has to be received by faith (Eph. 2:8; Heb. 11:6), and (3) we have to continue to stand in the freedom Christ bought for us (Gal. 5:1) through faith (Col. 2:6-7). All three have to happen. Two out of three will not do.

Note 3 at 1 Cor. 15:1: By comparing 1 Peter 5:12 with this verse, we can see that standing in the gospel is standing in the grace of God. This is another witness that the terms "gospel" and "grace" are used interchangably (see note 5 at Acts 20:24, p. 698).
