Summary 1 Corinthians 15:50-58

Resurrection Summary: The last little bit of this long chapter concludes what Paul wants the Corinthians to know. No one enters the kingdom of God with a corruptible, physical body because God changes those who will inherit the kingdom. And at the last, when the final trumpet blows, those who are still physically alive, will be changed to a spiritual body in the blink of an eye. Along with believers who died first, they join Christ in heaven. Paul's statement here is factual. "Death is swallowed in victory." Finally, then, Paul tells the Corinthians and us the ultimate truth. All that we do here is based on that now established victory. None of our labor is in vain. We follow Christ doing his will while "being steadfast, unmovable and always abounding in the work for him."
