THE IMPLICATIONS OF RESURRECTION APPLIED
1. CONTINUE EVANGELISM v.29: we keep sharing the Gospel as believers die because we believe that they are with the Lord and we always need people to make up the Body of Christ’s Church.
2. ENDURE PERSECUTION v.30-32: Paul died daily meant Pau’s life was regularly endangered yet he went on (2 Cor. 4:8-5:10; 11:23-28) because he believed he would stand and give an account for what he did “in his body” for the Lord, not just in his mind or soul—but his body that would be resurrected. Paul knew God promised that sufferings now yield glory for eternity (2 Cor. 4:7-18).
3. RESIST SIN v.33-34: we are also going to give an account to God for what we did with these bodies that were His temple (2 Cor. 6:14-7:1). God has already told us to have nothing to do with the deeds of darkness (Eph. 5:6-17) so because our bodies will be resurrected we must look up and get rid of any filth (1 Th. 5:4-11).
4. ANTICIPATE HEAVEN v.35-38, 39, 40-41, 42-48: seeds burst into indescribably greater beautiful form and function. As much as the flesh of humans and animals are different v.39, so the coming body we get will be different—like our bodies, but not the same bodies reconstituted. God says we will be “transformed” not put back together at the resurrection. Just as our earthly bodies (terrestrial) are amazingly built and functional, the wonders of the coming heavenly (celestial) bodies v.40-41 are impossible for us to conceive of—but Christ’s resurrection body gives us some clues. He was unrestrained by distance or by physical barriers. Yet He could be seen, touched, eat, and talk. He was glorified and yet present as our hope.
5. LIVE IN VICTORY v.49-58: we in Christ’s resurrection now have victory (“triumph” in 2 Cor. 2:14) over sin, death, and the law.
