1 Corinthians 15:3 meaning
The Bible contains numerous prophecies about the birth of the Messiah. Isaiah even foretold how He would live a blameless life yet bear the weight of our sins. Though these prophecies were made long ago, the Messiah eventually came, born into the world, and died for our sins.
In his heartfelt letter to the church in Corinth, Paul reassures them that he has not kept the good news hidden. He affirms that the prophecy from Isaiah has been fulfilled and that the death and resurrection of the Messiah have already occurred. Paul encourages them to share this truth with others.
Prayer
Thank you, Almighty Father, for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to bear the consequences of our sins and die in our place. I pray that You help me to live a life worthy of His sacrifice and not continue in sin. For if I do, His death would have been in vain. Thank You, dear God, for the strength that comes from knowing and loving You. Because of this, I am an overcomer, and I have already triumphed over the temptation to sin. Amen.
