Hi @lakshmi
Allow me to share a thought on this.
“And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.” (Jn.16:8-11, KJV)
According to the Bible app that I use, reprove in Greek is ἐλέγχω (elénchō), translated in other versions as convict, denotes a display of an undeniable proof that:
- Man’s damning sin is unbelief (v. 9.)
- Christ lived a sinless, guiltless life because He has been resurrected, with NO body of evidence to prove otherwise (v. 10)
- Satan is proven wrong of his controversy against God for his Celestial eviction (v. 11)
In verse 10, the physical resurrection is proof to Christ’s sinlessness invalidating death’s claim (sin’s wages, Rom.6:23, KJV) against Him, and substantiating His death’s substitutionary and transcending efficacy (2Cor.5:21, KJV) for all who repented of unbelief (v. 9).
Hence,
“… if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins," (1Cor.15:17, KJV) because there will be no evidence to substantiate our faith.
