    Paul answers questions in his treatment of Resurrection teachings:
    1. Would it be a good thing to restore the body to life? Yes! Absolutely!
      1 Corinthians 15:42-44

    2. How can this be after decomposition or destruction?
      1 Corinthians 15:51
      1 Corinthians 15:57
      God gives us the victory over this! It is done by Him in a mysterious way for us and to us.

      Need any more be said of the possibility or desirability of these things?
  2. Our resurrection is part of God's final victory in His creation.
    1 Corinthians 15:53 More will and "must" happen to our bodies - why?
    1 Corinthians 15:57
    God created us as bodily creatures with His purposes in view.
    1 Corinthians 15:56 Death came by invitation (as a result of sin) from us.
    1 Corinthians 15:26 Death is an enemy.
    God intends to win and to recover what is lost. Only God can accomplish this task.

  3. Our resurrection makes "the here and now" matter to us.
    1 Corinthians 15:58

    The deeds done in the body will be dealt with at the Judgement Seat of Christ.

    True Christian's sins are "pardoned sins".
