And this is the message of Easter. We do not need to be afraid of death anymore. Christ faced death for us. And by His victory, we are saved from sin. Christ has taken the stinger for us.
Fear is gone.
New life is ours. Paul clearly teaches that one day God will sound His trumpet, this will be the time when our old bodies will be raised to a new body, one like Christ's that cannot be destroyed. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. It is the very foundation of our faith, and it is the foundation of all our hopes in Christ.
