The resurrection is affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, with Christ's resurrection as the cornerstone of believers' hope.
The certainty of resurrection is underscored throughout scripture, particularly in 1 Corinthians 15 where the Apostle Paul insists that if Christ has not been raised, then our faith is futile. Job expresses his hope in a future resurrection, saying that even after his body is destroyed, he will see God. This aligns with the New Testament revelation of Christ's victory over death, serving as the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. Through Christ’s resurrection, believers are assured of their own resurrection, lending undeniable truth to this central doctrine of the Christian faith.
