Key Verse 15:3-4 “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
- Review the issues Paul has been addressing in this church (1:11-12; 5:1; 8:10-11; 10:14) What do these issues show about the Corinthian Christians?
- Why does Paul remind the Corinthian Christians of the gospel? Why do they need such a reminder?
(1-2)
- What does the word “gospel” mean? Why is it such good news that Christ died for our sins? (3) Why can we not resolve our sins on our own? (cf. Romans 7:24)
- What does Jesus’ resurrection prove and why is it necessary? (cf. Romans 1:4, Hebrews 9:28) Why does Paul repeat the phrase “according to the Scriptures” in verses 3-4?
- What resurrection appearances of Christ does Paul mention, and why are they so important? (5–8) What happened to Paul himself after the Risen Christ appeared to him? (9-10) How have you been changed by the gospel?
