We know God can raise the dead through His demonstrated power in Scripture, particularly in the resurrection of Jesus and the raising of Lazarus.
The narrative of Lazarus provides a compelling illustration of God's power over death, showcasing not only His authority but also the promise of eternal life. When Jesus called Lazarus from the grave after four days, it confirmed His identity as the resurrection and the life (John 11:25-26). Moreover, the resurrection of Jesus serves as the greatest evidence of God's power, promising that those who believe in Him will also be raised (1 Corinthians 15:20-22). This assurance gives believers hope in the resurrection and victory over death.
