Effects of Denying the Resurrection
29 Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead? 30 And why do we stand in jeopardy every hour? 31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 32 If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”[b]
33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
Jesus died and rose again as a sign/receipt/promise fulfilled of the entirety of our sins that were judged. so today, we can live our lives with eternity in our hearts. compromise for instant gratification is always easy but we are the righteousness of God in Christ. we live knowing we are righteous, guided by the Holy Spirit, guarded by peace, embraced by His love.
