How do we know that Jesus' ascension is important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' ascension is crucial for Christians as it affirms His victory over sin and death and ensures our acceptance in God through His work.

The ascension of Christ is essential for believers as it signifies the completion of His redemptive work and His exaltation at the right hand of the Father. In the sermon, it is noted that the only reason for our forgiveness and acceptance is due to the ascension of Christ; God accepted His sacrifice, thus paving the way for our salvation. The mantle that fell on Elisha symbolized the continuation of God's work, just as Christ's ascension opens the door for believers to receive the Holy Spirit and to partake in the blessings of salvation. Therefore, the ascension isn't merely an event; it's foundational to the Gospel and the believer's assurance of righteousness.
