1 Corinthians 15:22

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:22

As in the first Adam all men, that were in him, became subject both to temporal death, and all the afflictions and miseries of this life, which are so many little deaths, Romans 8:36, and forerunners of natural death, or attendants upon it; and also to that eternal death, which is the consequent of the guilt of sin, Romans 6:23; so in Christ, that is, through the merits of his death, and through his resurrection, all that are in him, being chosen in him, given to him, and by faith implanted... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:20-34

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 15:20. Hath.—Emphasis here, not on “now” or “Christ.” Over against their doubts, and speculations, and “impossibilities,” Paul sets the one conclusive fact. Firstfruits.—Read in the light of Romans 11:16; James 1:18; Revelation 14:4; Matthew 27:52-53. With a variant figure the thought is in Colossians 1:18; Revelation 1:5.1 Corinthians 15:20-23. By man … by man.—Resurrection actually comes “by man”; we may almost say must so come, and so He became man. He the Judge... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:20-23

1 Corinthians 15:20-23 I. The principle upon which the Apostle proceeds is the same when he reasons on the assumption of Christ's resurrection being admitted, as when he argues on the hypothesis of its being denied. That principle is the substantial oneness of Christ and His believing people. Your faith unites you to Christ and identifies you with Him. It commits you to share His fortune. It involves you in His destiny, whatever that may be. Your union with Christ, which would be your... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:22

1 Corinthians 15:22 The Christian's Life in Christ. I. "In Christ shall all be made alive." We shall live then, not only as having our souls restored to our bodies, and our souls and bodies living on in the presence of Almighty God; great and unutterable as were this blessedness, there is a higher yet in store, to live on "in Christ." To dwell in God must be by His dwelling in us. He takes us out of our state of nature in which we were, fallen, estranged, in a far country, out of and away from... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 1 Corinthians 15:22

DISCOURSE: 1992ADAM A TYPE OF CHRIST1 Corinthians 15:22. As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.THE fall of man in Adam, and his recovery in Christ, comprehend the whole circle of Divine truth: every part of the revealed will of God is so connected with these two doctrines, that all must stand or fall together. Our death implies the former of them; and our resurrection the latter. Hence St. Paul, proving the doctrine of the resurrection, adverts to our fall in Adam as an... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - 1 Corinthians 15:22

Adam Adam was a contrasting type of Christ, 1 Corinthians 15:45-47; Romans 5:14-19. (1) "The first man Adam was made a living soul" Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:7 i.e. he derived life from another, that is, God. "The last Adam was a life-giving spirit." So far from deriving life, He was Himself the fountain of life, and He gave that life to others ; John 1:4; John 5:21; John 10:10; John 12:24; 1 John 5:12. (2) In origin the first man was of the earth, earthy; the Second Man is the Lord from heaven.... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

1 Corinthians 15:1-58 There were people in the Apostles' days who had an idea that there was no resurrection. Paul endeavours torefute the idea, and teaches the Corinthians that there was a resurrection from the dead. From the 1st to the 11th verse he proves the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and upon that grounds the doctrine of the resurrection of the just. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand: "By which also... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

Let's turn to I Corinthians, chapter 15.The Corinthian church was a real mess. A lot of carnality that led to divisions, a lot of party spirit, a real misunderstanding of the spiritual gifts, a lot of weird concepts. There were some in Corinth who declared that there was no resurrection from the dead, sort of a Sadducean background, perhaps. Paul, having corrected the other problems that they wrote to him about, now finally tackles the final problem of those people who were declaring there is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 . I declare unto you the gospel by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you. We have here an epitome of the whole gospel, comprising essentially the death of Christ as a sacrifice for sin, and his triumphant resurrection from the dead; these are truths which lie at the foundation of all human hope. The promise of salvation so often repeated to sincere and faithful souls, must always be kept in view. Mark 16:16. Romans 1:16. What consolation... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Corinthians 15:21-22

1 Corinthians 15:21-22For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. Salvation by manWhen Paul says “by man” he refers to Christ; only taking advantage of the fact that, since the Son of God incarnate, is become a proper man, it is permitted us to regard the power of salvation as included in humanity itself. Christ is not so much to be thought of as being external, but as a regenerative power so inserted in humanity as to be, in a sense, of it. The word “since”... read more
