The resurrection of life is assured through the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His authority over death.
The resurrection of life is true because it is grounded in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has been given authority to execute judgment and resurrect the dead. John 5:27-29 explains that all who are in the graves will hear His voice and will be resurrected, some for life and others for condemnation. This assures believers that their faith in Christ leads to eternal life. Our hope is not based on our righteousness but on Christ's imputed righteousness to us, which guarantees our resurrection on the last day. Thus, believers can be confident in the promise of eternal life, for it is secured by Christ’s sovereignty and His finished work on the cross.
