What does the Bible say about the resurrection of Jesus?
Answered in 6 sources
The Bible states that Jesus rose from the dead as the first fruits of those who have died, confirming His victory over sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:20-22).
The resurrection of Jesus is a foundational doctrine in Christianity. As Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, 'But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.' This essential truth signifies that Christ's resurrection provides hope and assurance that all who are united with Him through faith will also be resurrected to eternal life. The resurrection is thus not only a historical event but the cornerstone of the Christian faith, validating Christ’s work of redemption and victory over sin and death.
