What does the Bible say about Christ's resurrection?

Answered in 14 sources

The Bible states that Christ's resurrection is foundational for the Christian faith, asserting that if Christ had not risen, our preaching and faith are in vain (1 Corinthians 15:14).

The resurrection of Christ is central to Christianity as evidenced in 1 Corinthians 15:20, where it affirms that 'now is Christ risen from the dead.' This monumental event serves as the cornerstone of Christian belief, for without it, as Paul writes, 'If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain: ye are yet in your sins.' The resurrection provides proof of Christ's divinity and authority, establishing Him as the 'Son of God with power.' It is through this event that we understand the enormity of our justification and regeneration, which are intrinsically linked to Christ's victory over death. Thus, the resurrection is not merely an event; it is pivotal for the believer's hope and assurance of eternal life.
