We see the promise of resurrection in Scripture, affirming God's power over death through faith.
The assurance that God gives life to the dead is rooted in both Old and New Testament promises. Paul reflects on this truth in 2 Corinthians 4:14, stating, 'knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus.' This understanding comes from God’s faithful character demonstrated in scripture, particularly in the resurrection of Christ as the firstfruits of those who have died. Just as God raised Jesus, believers are assured of their own resurrection through faith in Him. This conviction provides strength and perseverance, especially during trials, affirming our reliance on God's resurrecting power.
