How does Christ's resurrection give us hope?

The resurrection of Jesus is not only a historical event but the cornerstone of Christian hope. As stated in Romans 4:25, Christ was raised for our justification, confirming that believers' sins are forgiven and their righteousness is secured through Him. This resurrection affirms that death has been defeated and that believers will also be raised to eternal life. Therefore, the hope Christians have is both immediate and eschatological, promising that we will be united with Christ forever in glory.
