Quote:
5. Why is this? Because these truths would "save" them.
• The word "save" simply means "to deliver, to protect."
• The word "save" does not always mean to deliver from hell. You must look in the context to see what the person is being saved, delivered or protected from. Examples: Matthew 8:25, 14:30; Acts 27:20; Romans 13:11;
1 Timothy 2:15; Jude 1:5
6. In context, what would Paul's gospel save the Corinthians from? It would deliver them from a realm of false doctrine about the resurrection that would lead to despair, hopelessness, misery, and vanity. vs. 14, 17-19

That's good stuff.
It's amazing how many times you can hear that truth about the word "saved" and then forget to apply it when you run into I Cor 15.
I definitely just had a "DUH" moment.
