We know Jesus has defeated death because of His resurrection, which assures believers of eternal life and victory over death.
The assurance of Jesus' victory over death is grounded in His resurrection. Christ’s resurrection serves as the definitive proof that death has been defeated. In Romans 6:9, Paul writes that 'Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.' This victory extends to all who are united with Him in faith. Philippians 3:20-21 elaborates that Jesus will transform our vile bodies to be like His glorious body, reaffirming that death is not the end, but a passage to everlasting life for His followers. Through faith, believers have confidence that they too will experience this resurrection.
