How do we know the resurrection is real?

Answered in 2 sources

The resurrection is affirmed through multiple witnesses and biblical accounts that testify to Christ being the firstfruits of those who have died.

In Matthew 27:52-53, we read about the graves of the saints being opened after Jesus' death and how many arose after His resurrection. This event not only highlights Christ's power over death but emphasizes His position as the inaugural figure in the resurrection narrative. The New Testament affirms that He is the first to rise in a glorified body, as detailed in 1 Corinthians 15:20, which calls Jesus the 'firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.' The reality of His resurrection is further substantiated by the appearances He made to various individuals and groups following His resurrection, encouraging a strong belief in His conquering death.
