What does the Bible say about the resurrection of Jesus?
Answered in 26 sources
The Bible proclaims the resurrection of Jesus as a cornerstone of the Christian faith, affirming that He rose from the dead to secure salvation for His people.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is fundamental to the Christian faith. In Mark 16, the angel announces to Mary Magdalene and others that Jesus is risen, emphasizing that He is not in the grave (Mark 16:6-7). This event fulfills Jesus' prophecy of His resurrection and confirms His identity as the Son of God. The resurrection signifies victory over sin and death, providing hope and assurance of salvation to all who believe in Him. Paul further reinforces this in 1 Corinthians 15:17, noting that if Christ has not been raised, our faith is futile; we are still in our sins.
