Resurrection Joy

How central is the resurrection to life? How central is faith to life. Is it possible to have life without saving faith? And is faith really true faith without believing in the physical, the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ? Here in 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul answers each of these questions. In short, if one has hardened themselves to the things of God, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is foolishness, but with the eyes of faith, one will grasp not only the necessity, but also the joy, of the resurrection.
