1 Corinthians 15:21
1 Corinthians 15:21
For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
This verse connects the entry of death into the world through Adam with the promise of resurrection through Christ. While death entered through one man, the resurrection is made possible through another—Jesus Christ. This contrast highlights the victory that believers have in Christ. Death, which seemed to have a firm hold on humanity, has been undone through Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection. Through Him, we can have eternal life. This passage underscores the centrality of Christ in the plan of salvation. The resurrection is a gift made available to all who believe in Jesus. This verse invites us to place our faith in the one who has conquered death and who promises resurrection to all who trust in Him. It reassures us that death no longer has the final say, and that in Christ, we have hope beyond the grave.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Psalm 23:6
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Romans 14:8
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
