The resurrection is confirmed by Scripture and the testimony of Jesus, who declared that He is the life and the resurrection.
The reality of the resurrection is established through Jesus' own teachings and His authority as the Son of God. In John 11:25-26, Jesus states, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.' This statement underscores the promise that physical death is not the end for believers, but rather the beginning of eternal life with Christ. Furthermore, in Mark 12:24-27, Jesus highlights God's relationship with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as evidence of life after death, declaring that 'He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living.' This reveals that the faithful live eternally in His presence, affirming the reality of resurrection.
