The resurrection is affirmed by multiple eyewitness accounts and the transformative impact it had on the lives of His followers, as recorded in the Gospels.
The truth of Jesus' resurrection is supported by the Gospels, particularly through the testimonies of those who witnessed the risen Christ. Luke emphasizes this event, detailing the accounts of those who saw Him after His resurrection, which served to bolster the faith of the early church. The resurrection is not just a singular event but is foundational to the Christian faith, as Paul states in 1 Corinthians 15, where he emphasizes that if Christ had not been raised, our faith would be futile. The transformative effect of the resurrection on the lives of the apostles who boldly proclaimed this truth, even unto death, further confirms its authenticity and importance.
