The Law of God in 1 Corinthians 15:56: Its Meaning and Implications on the Eschatological Church

Abstract

The study identifies the law of God (Ten Commandments) in 1 Cor 15:56 and its implications on the eschatological church. The term “law” appears in isolation in the resurrection text causing some to consider it an interpolation; however, its presence here not only heightens the continuity of God’s law in the eschatological church, but also its significance in the work of redemption and ultimate victory over sin and death, a development that will usher in eschatological rest in God’s entire universe.
