How does the resurrection of Christ assure believers of their faith?

Answered in 1 source

The resurrection of Christ assures believers that their faith is not in vain and guarantees their future resurrection and eternal life.

The resurrection of Jesus is central to the Christian faith, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, which explains that Christ is the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. This victory over death assures believers that, just as Christ was raised, they too will be resurrected to eternal life. It confirms the truth of the Gospel and the effectiveness of Christ's atoning sacrifice. The resurrection is also a testament to the power of God; it brings hope and assurance that believers will share in the glory of eternal life, thus our faith is placed firmly in the living Christ who intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father.
