How does Christ's resurrection affirm our victory over sin?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's resurrection assures believers of victory over sin and death, establishing hope for eternal life.
The resurrection of Christ is the cornerstone of Christian faith and signifies the defeat of sin and death. In 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, Paul illustrates this victory, proclaiming that through Christ, death is swallowed up in victory. The resurrection affirms that Christ not only conquers sin but also ensures that believers share in this victory. Romans 6:4 further states that believers are 'buried with him by baptism into death' so that 'like as Christ was raised up from the dead,' they too may walk in newness of life. This new life reflects liberation from the power of sin and guarantees a future resurrection for all who trust in Christ.
