1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Now I'm making known
to you\, brothers\, the gospel that I proclaimed to you\, which you accept
ed\, on which you have taken your stand\, and by which you are also being
saved if you hold firmly to the message I proclaimed to you - unless\, of
course\, your faith was worthless.
\nFor I passed on to you the most
important points that I received: The Messiah died for our sins according
to the Scriptures\, He was buried\, He was raised on the third day accord
ing to the Scriptures - and is still alive! Cephas saw him and then by the
Twelve.
The core essence of Christianity is that Jesus Christ was crucified\, then rose from the dead\, and is now alive\, seated at the ri ght hand of the throne of God in the heavens.
\nHebrews 12:2 Fixin g our attention on Jesus\, the pioneer and perfecter of the faith\, who\, in view of the joy set before Him\, endured the cross\, disregarding its s hame\, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
\nRe surrection refers to life beyond the grave. The belief in Christ's death a nd resurrection is the cornerstone of Christianity. Without this belief\, all our hopes for eternity would collapse. By firmly holding onto this tru th\, Christians are able to endure trials and remain faithful to God. Our faith is in vain if we do not maintain our belief in the gospel.

herein you stand Romans 5:2
\nThrough Him\, we have also obtained acc
ess by faith into this grace by which we have been established\, and we bo
ast because of our hope in God's glory.
By which you are saved Rom
ans 1:16
\nI am not ashamed of the gospel because it is God's power f
or the salvation of everyone who believes.
Unless you believed in vain Galatians 3:4 Did you suffer so much for nothing? (If it really was f or nothing!)
\nAccording to the scriptures
\n Psalm 22:15 My st

Isaiah 53 :5 But He was wounded for our transgressions\, and He was crushed for our iniquities\, and the punishment that made us whole was upon Him\, and by His bruises\, we are healed.
\nDaniel 9:26 Then\, after the 62 week s\, the anointed one will be cut off and will have no successor. Then the people of the coming commander will destroy both the city and the Sanctuar y. Its ending will come like a flood\, and until the end\, there will be w ar\, with desolations having been decreed.
\n1 Peter 2:24 He Himsel f bore our sins in His body on the tree\, so that we might die to those si ns and live righteously. By His wounds\, you have been healed.
\nAcc
ording to the Scriptures
\n Psalm 2:7 Let me announce the decree of t
he Lord that He told me: You are my Son\, today I have become Your Father
.
Isaiah 53:10 Yet the Lord was willing to crush Him\, and He mad e Him suffer. Although you make His soul an offering for sin\, He will see His offspring\, and He will prolong His days\, and the will of the Lord w ill triumph in His hand.
\nHos 6:2 After two days\, He will restore us to life\; on the third day\, He will raise us up\, and we will live in His presence.
