We know Jesus is alive forevermore through His resurrection and the transformative experience of believers who encounter His presence.
The affirmation of Jesus as 'He that liveth and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore' (Revelation 1:18) is rooted in the historical event of His resurrection. This declaration not only confirms His victory over death but also serves to reassure believers of their own salvation and eternal life through Him. The resurrection is foundational to the Christian faith, signifying Christ's triumph over sin and death, which He accomplished through His sacrifice on Calvary.
Additionally, believers experience this living reality through the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. As Christians engage in prayer and receive the assurance of Christ's intercession for them, they encounter the living Savior who transforms their hearts and lives. This ongoing relationship and the experiences of personal redemption further substantiate the truth of His eternal life, motivating believers to share the good news and live in the light of His transformative power.
