How do we know Jesus' death and resurrection is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of Jesus' death and resurrection is affirmed through multiple Scripture testimonies and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.

The historical reality of Jesus' death and resurrection is foundational to the Christian faith. The apostle Paul, in Galatians 3:1, urges the church to recognize that Christ was 'evidently set forth' as crucified. This phrase signifies that there is clear evidence of Christ’s atoning work, not just in the New Testament but also foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. The prophetic Scriptures outlined a suffering Messiah, and Christ fulfilled these prophecies perfectly.

Additionally, the Gospel accounts, coupled with the testimonies of countless witnesses post-resurrection, establish a strong basis for belief. The disciples, who were initially fearful and in hiding, became bold proclaimers of the resurrection, indicating their transformation upon encountering the risen Christ. This historical event is pivotal; without it, the Christian faith would be empty as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:17. Thus, the resurrection is not only true but essential for the hope of eternal life.
