If Christ has not been raised from the dead, Christianity is pointless

“If Christ has not been raised, your faith is pointless and you have not, after all, been released from your sins” 1 Cori 15:17

St. Paul wishes to make it very clear to us that the faith that we profess is not just a set of human teachings, but it is something that the Apostles have seen, heard and touched - and the greatest article of faith is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He tells us that if we omit this one article of faith - that is the Resurrection of Christ - everything else is of no use at all. He makes it clear that our faith is pointless without believing in the Resurrection of Christ - indeed, then we are still in our sins. Therefore, let us say to the Lord, “Lord, I believe!”
