A Matter of Death and Life — Part Two

A familiar belief, even within churches, suggests that we are basically good and will be saved by God. In contrast, the Bible teaches that we are condemned sinners in need of a Savior. We must understand the depth of our sinfulness before we can grasp the desperation of our need. Recognizing this, Alistair Begg walks us through the nature, extent, and effects of sin. We can be saved by trusting only in Jesus, not in our good works.

Life after Death

1 Corinthians 15:1–58 Series ID: 23601


20But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27For “God3 has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
