How do we know Christ's resurrection confirms our justification?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's resurrection confirms our justification because it is God's declaration that He was satisfied with Christ's sacrifice for our sins (Romans 4:25).

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a fundamental assurance of our justification. As Romans 4:25 states, He was raised for our justification. This means that His resurrection serves as the confirmation that God has accepted His sacrificial death as payment for sin. If Christ had not been raised, we would have no hope or assurance that our sins are forgiven and that we are justified before God. Christ's resurrection thus assures us that He successfully accomplished the Father's will and secures our righteousness before God, being the guarantee of our future resurrection and eternal life in Him. The empty tomb stands as evidence of God’s faithfulness to His promises.
