GOD’S UNFAILING LOVE

1 Corinthians 15:1-11

Key Verse 15:3-4

1. Given the issues in the Corinthian church, why does Paul remind them of the gospel (1)? What does it mean to “take your stand on” the gospel? What does it mean to “hold firmly to the word” in light of God’s unfailing love (2)?

2. What is the core message of the gospel (3-4)? How is God’s unfailing love revealed in sending His one and only Son to suffer and die on the cross for our sins (Joh 3:16, Is 53:3-6, 1 Pet 2:24)? Because of God’s unfailing love, what great blessings have we received?

3. How does Jesus’ resurrection fulfill God’s unfailing love (Rom 4:25)? How does the phrase “according to the Scriptures” reveal God’s unfailing love (Lk 24:25-27)? In what way does Jesus’ resurrection enable us to live forever in God’s unfailing love (Rom 8:38-39)?

4. Why do you think many witnesses of Christ’s resurrection are mentioned here (5-8)? How did Paul experience God’s unfailing love in such a powerful way (9)? How did Paul live in response to God’s unfailing love (10-11)?
