How do we know the resurrection is true?

Answered in 60 sources

The truth of the resurrection is founded on Christ's victory over death, as declared in 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul emphasizes that Christ has risen and grants hope to His people.

The resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian belief, detailed in 1 Corinthians 15, which articulates Christ's triumph over death. Paul asserts that without the resurrection, our faith would be futile, yet because Jesus has risen from the dead, He has secured victory not only for Himself but also for all who believe in Him. This victory is a vital aspect of the hope Christians cling to; it affirms that death is not the end. The resurrection is supported by eyewitness testimonies, the transformative experiences of early believers, and the historical impact of the resurrection on the church. The glories of the empty tomb give definitive evidence that Jesus, as our righteous Savior, has indeed conquered death, which is a hope echoed throughout the scriptures.
