1 Corinthians 15:26
“The last enemy that will be abolished is death.”
What does 1 Corinthians 15:26 mean?
Paul is describing the final victory that comes through Christ's resurrection. In his vision of how God's plan unfolds, death is the very last thing to be conquered, which underscores just how powerful and stubborn an enemy it is. But the point isn't to make us afraid, rather to reassure us that death's defeat is absolutely certain, even if it's the final battle. This speaks hope to anyone who has faced loss or fears their own mortality, reminding us that God's restoration work will be thorough and complete.
