We know our Redeemer lives because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who conquered death and is alive forevermore.
The assurance that our Redeemer lives is foundational to Christian faith, as echoed in Job’s proclamation in Job 19:25-26. Job expressed absolute certainty that, despite the circumstances of life that can seem dire, he believed in the living Redeemer who will stand upon the earth. This belief is affirmed in the New Testament where Jesus is declared the 'resurrection and the life' (John 11:25). His resurrection is a historical and transformative event that confirms His victory over death and sin, providing believers with the hope of eternal life. Because He lives, we, too, will one day live and stand in His presence, as promised in Scripture.
