1 Corinthians 15:50-58; 16:1-4

Death will be brought to an end and forever defeated by Jesus Christ. For this reason, Christ-followers must not fear natural death. When Christ returns to earth we will be transformed and will live forever. I find new spiritual strength in the amazing power of Jesus Christ. This perspective should help us be strong now and live with passion for Jesus. Not a single thing that we do for our Lord will be wasted. From this context, the Corinthian believers are encouraged to exercise courageous generosity by choosing to live on less of the money they earned so that they could send help to the Jerusalem believers. This would prove their love for others across ethnic and racially divided lines. We can now live in the same way.
