How do we know that spiritual resurrection is true?
Answered in 1 source
Spiritual resurrection is affirmed through the work of Christ, who raises the spiritually dead to life, as seen in John 11 when Lazarus is called forth.
The truth of spiritual resurrection is grounded in the person and work of Jesus Christ. He demonstrates His power over death through the miraculous raising of Lazarus in John 11:43-44. This miracle serves as a vivid representation of how Christ calls His people from spiritual death into life. We are reminded that, by nature, we are dead in our sins (Ephesians 2:1), but through the work of the Holy Spirit, believers are regenerated, given faith, and brought into a new life in Christ. The theological implications of this transformation affirm that just as Lazarus was called forth from the grave, so too are believers called into spiritual life by God's grace.
