In verses twenty-five to twenty-eight, Paul states the purposes of the Trinity.

Although God the Father and God the Son are equal, each has a special work to do and an area of sovereign control.

Christ is not inferior to the Father, but his work is to defeat all evil on earth. First, he defeated sin and death on the cross, and in the final days, he will defeat Satan and all evil.

World events may seem out of control and justice might seem scarce. But we can take heart as Christians that God is in control, allowing evil to remain until the second coming of Jesus Christ. Then, Christ will present to God a perfect new world.

1 Corinthians 15:25-28
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[a] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
