I Corinthians 15:14, "If Christ has not been raised.."

It's popular in some circles to say that it doesn't really matter if the Bible is true or not; what's important is the teachings of Jesus ("do unto others", "love your neighbor"). It may be popular, but it couldn't be more wrong. If Jesus Christ wasn't really the Son of God, didn't really die for our sins, or didn't really rise from the grave, everything we're doing in the church is a waste of time. Paul says in I Corinthians 15:14, "if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." I couldn't agree more. Christianity is not just a social club, we belong to Christ because we BELIEVE that the Truth about Christ is so amazing that we're willing to stake our lives on it. It really does matter, the empty tomb on Easter morning makes all the difference in the world.
