1 Corinthians 15:12-28

Some people did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. Clearly that is an incorrect belief since Jesus was raised from the dead.

And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.

(v14, ESV)

We know that our faith and our preaching are not in vain because we know Christ has been raised. If you do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, it completely contradicts the Christian faith.

Christ has been raised and therefore has defeated death. Paul continues on in the glorious result in acceptance of the resurrection of Christ.

Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

(v24-28, NIV)

He will put all his enemies under his feet. ESV uses the word "subjection". There are some people who are enemies of God. Some people who want nothing to do with God. I guess no matter how hard they refuse or resist God, God is bigger than them and he will put them under his feet.

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing my God cannot do.

(My God is so Big, Song)

Spoiler alert, God wins in the end. We have hope and faith in Jesus. Jesus conquered death!

When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

(v28, ESV)
