I Pray All Is Well With Everyone… And Your Hearts And Minds Are Full Of Love, Joy, And Compassion… For All God’s Children… And All God’s Creation. And What A Blessed And Beautiful Creation It Is; Even Amidst The Darkness Of War And The Hateful Energy… That Saturates The Atmosphere. Yet It Is Mankind’s Obligation To Life While Here On This Earth… To Protect What Has Been Designed By The Spirt Of The Living God – Including Our Human Temples Which Envelops Our “Mighty I AM Presence”; And All The Nature And Natural Resources That Are Abundantly Provided… For Our Sustenance And Enjoyment.
But When Attempts To Strong-Arm Mother Earth And Her Citizens… By Stripping Away The God-Given Life And Blessings Bestowed Upon Everyone, Freely, By That Which Is Greater Than Mankind’s Brief Existence; We Not Only Deplete And Destroy Our Natural Resources To Ruin… But We In Turn… Deplete The Life On This Planet And Possibly Annihilate Mankind’s Physical Presence… The Temples Of The Living God… From The Face Of The Earth. Think About It; At This Point… Without Immediate Correction And Redirection… It May Be Sooner… Than Never! Amen… 
Give Thanks And Praises For Love And Life… 
And Y’all Be Love… 
1 Corinthians 15:1-10
“… The doctrine of Christ’s death and resurrection is at the foundation of Christianity. Remove this foundation, and the whole fabric falls, all our hopes for eternity sink at once. And it is by holding this truth firmly that Christians are made to stand in a day of trial, and kept faithful to God. It was that alone, by which they could hope for salvation, 2 Corinthians 15:2, for there is no salvation in any other name; no name given under heaven by which we may be saved, but by the name of Christ. And there is no salvation in his name, but upon supposition of his death and resurrection. These are the saving truths of our holy religion. The crucifixion of our Redeemer and his conquest over death are the very source of our spiritual life and hopes. Now concerning these saving truths, observe:
1. They must be retained in mind, they must be held fast (so the word is translated, Hebrews 10:23), “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith.” Note: The saving truths of the gospel must be fixed in our minds, revolved much in our thoughts, and maintained and held fast to the end, if we would be saved. They will not save us, if we do not attend to them, and yield to their power, and continue to do so to the end. He only that endures to the end shall be saved, Matthew 10:22.
2. We believe in vain, unless we continue and persevere in the faith of the gospel. We shall be never the better for a temporary faith; nay, we shall aggravate our guilt by relapsing into infidelity. And in vain is it to profess Christianity, or our faith in Christ, if we deny the resurrection, for this must imply and involve the denial of his resurrection; and take away this, you make nothing of Christianity, you leave nothing for faith or hope to fix upon.
… Note: Christ’s death and resurrection are the very sum and substance of evangelical truth. Hence, we derive our spiritual life now, and here we must find our hopes of everlasting life hereafter.
… It is a great confirmation of our faith of the gospel to see how it corresponds with ancient types and prophecies, and by the testimony of many eyewitnesses, who saw Christ after he had risen from the dead. He reckons up five several appearances, beside that to himself. He was seen of Cephas, or Peter, then of the twelve, called so, though Judas was no longer among them, because this was their usual number. Then he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once, many of whom were living when the apostle wrote this epistle, though some had fallen asleep. This was in Galilee, Matthew 28:10. After that, he was seen of James singly, and then by all the apostles when he was taken up into heaven. This was on mount Olivet, Luke 24:50.
… How uncontrollably evident was Christ’s resurrection from the dead, when so many eyes saw him at so many different times alive, and when he indulged the weakness of one disciple so far as to let him handle him, to put his resurrection out of doubt. And what reason have we to believe those who were so steady in maintaining this truth, though they hazarded all that was dear to them in this world by endeavoring to assert and propagate it! Even Paul himself was last of all favoured with the sight of him. It was one of the peculiar offices of an apostle to be a witness of our Saviour’s resurrection, Luke 24:48; and when Paul was called to the apostolical office, he was made an evidence of this sort; the Lord Jesus appeared to him by the way to Damascus, Acts 9:17.
Having mentioned this favour, Paul takes occasion from it to make a humble digression concerning himself. He was highly favoured of God, but he always endeavored to keep up a mean opinion of himself, and to express it. So he does here, by observing:
1. That he was one born out of due time, 1 Corinthians 15:8, an abortive, ektrōma, a child dead born, and out of time. Paul resembled such a birth in the suddenness of his new birth, in that he was not matured for the apostolic function, as the others were, who had personal converse with our Lord. He was called to the office when such conversation was not to be had; he was out of time for it. He had not known nor followed the Lord, nor been formed in his family, as the others were for this high and honourable function. This was in Paul’s account a very humbling circumstance.
2. By owning himself inferior to the other apostles, not meet to be called an apostle. The least, because the last of them, called latest to the office, and not worthy to be called an apostle, to have either the office or the title, because he had been a persecutor of the church of God, 1 Corinthians 15:9. Indeed, he tells us elsewhere that he was not a whit behind the very chief apostles, 2 Corinthians 11:5 – for gifts, graces, service, and sufferings, inferior to none of them. Yet some circumstances in his case made him think more meanly of himself than of any of them.
Note: A humble spirit, in the midst of high attainments, is a great ornament to any man; it sets his good qualities off to much greater advantage.
What kept Paul low in an especial manner was the remembrance of his former wickedness, his raging and destructive zeal against Christ and his members. How easily God can bring good out of the greatest evil. When sinners are, by divine grace, turned into saints, he makes the remembrance of their former sins very serviceable, to make them humble, and diligent, and faithful, by ascribing all that was valuable in him to divine grace: “But by the grace of God, I am, what I am”, 1 Corinthians 15:10. It is God’s prerogative to say, “I am that I am”; it is our privilege to be able to say, “By God’s grace, we are what we are.” We are nothing but what God makes us, nothing in religion but what his grace makes us. All that is good in us is a stream from this fountain.
Paul was sensible of this, and kept humble and thankful by this conviction, so should we. Nay, though he was conscious of his own diligence and zeal and service, so that he could say of himself, the Grace of God was not given him in vain, but he laboured more abundantly than they all; he thought himself so much more the debtor to divine grace. “Yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”
Note: Those who have the grace of God bestowed on them should take care that it be not in vain. They should cherish, and exercise, and exert this heavenly principle. So did Paul, and therefore laboured with so much heart and so much success. And yet the more he laboured and the more good he did, the more humble he was in his opinion of himself; and the more disposed to own and magnify the favour of God towards him his free and unmerited favour.
Note: A humble spirit will be very apt to own and magnify the grace of God. A humble spirit is commonly a gracious one. Where pride is subdued, there it is reasonable to believe, grace reigns.”
