What does the Bible say about the resurrection of Jesus?

Answered in 257 sources

The Bible declares the resurrection of Jesus as a cornerstone of the Christian faith, affirming through scripture that He died, was buried, and rose again on the third day.

The resurrection of Jesus is foundational to the Christian faith, articulated clearly in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, which states that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. This truth is vital for the salvation of believers, as Paul emphasizes that faith in the resurrection is essential to being accepted by God. Throughout the New Testament, the resurrection serves as the pivotal event that confirms Jesus as the Messiah and affirms the hope of eternal life for all who believe in Him.
