How do we know that Jesus rose from the dead?

Answered in 6 sources

The resurrection of Jesus is assured through multiple New Testament witnesses, attesting to His victory over death and sin.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a central tenet of the Christian faith, providing a foundation for believers' hope in eternal life. In Revelation 1:18, Christ declares, 'I am alive forevermore,' affirming His resurrection as a historical and transformative event. This is substantiated by the testimonies of witnesses, including those present at the tomb and His disciples, who encountered the risen Lord (Matthew 28:1-10). The Apostle Paul also emphasizes this truth in 1 Corinthians 15:20, where he refers to Christ as 'the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep,' indicating that through His resurrection, believers are assured of their own resurrection. Thus, the evidence of His resurrection is compelling for establishing the truth of the Gospel and the believer's hope in salvation.
