How do we know that Christ must suffer and rise again?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture clearly points to the necessity of Christ's suffering and resurrection as fulfilled prophecy.

The necessity for Christ to suffer and rise is rooted in biblical prophecy and teachings throughout the Old and New Testaments. Paul, as seen in Acts 17, opened the Scriptures to show that Christ must needs have suffered and risen from the dead. This aligns with numerous prophecies found in the Old Testament that prefigure the Messiah's suffering, such as Isaiah 53. The fulfillment of these prophecies in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ confirms His identity as the Messiah. Therefore, believing in Christ's suffering and resurrection is essential for understanding the gospel and receiving salvation, as taught in passages like 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.
