How do we know that the resurrection is true?

In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul presents the resurrection as central to the gospel message, essentially stating that the resurrection of Christ is the first fruit of the resurrection that believers can expect. He argues that if there is no resurrection, then not only is Christ not raised, but faith itself is in vain (1 Corinthians 15:14). The resurrection of Jesus is historically evidenced and theologically significant, providing a basis for the believer’s own resurrection. Paul reassures the faithful that they are united with Christ and will share in this transformative resurrection, reinforcing the hope and assurance found in the Gospel.
