How do we know that Christ's resurrection is true?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ's resurrection is affirmed by over 500 witnesses who saw Him alive after His death, establishing its truth through reliable testimony.

The truth of Christ's resurrection is confirmed through the testimony of multiple witnesses, as detailed in 1 Corinthians 15:5-8. The Apostle Paul notes that Christ was seen by Cephas, the twelve apostles, more than 500 brethren at once, and then James, among others. This large number of eyewitnesses provides a strong basis for belief, as their consistent accounts fulfill God's requirement for evidence (Deuteronomy 19:15). Furthermore, the resurrection is more than just a historical event; it is a theological affirmation that Christ accomplished redemption and justifies His people. The resurrection serves to assure believers that God accepted Christ's sacrificial work on the cross.
