How do we know the resurrection of Christ is true?
Answered in 21 sources
The resurrection of Christ is affirmed in Scripture and is central to the Christian faith as evidenced in 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul emphasizes its importance.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a cornerstone of Christian belief, clearly stated in passages such as 1 Corinthians 15. Paul argues that if Christ has not been raised, then Christian preaching is in vain and believers are still in their sins. This underscores the necessity of the resurrection for the authenticity of the gospel. Moreover, the historical evidence provided by the testimonies of over five hundred witnesses who saw Christ after His resurrection further affirms this miraculous event. The resurrection not only validates Christ’s authority as the Son of God but also guarantees the resurrection of believers, linking them to the hope of eternal life secured through Christ’s victory over death.
