What does the Bible say about the significance of Christ's resurrection?
Answered in 1 source
The resurrection of Christ is central to the Christian faith as it validates Jesus as the Messiah and ensures believers' justification.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, proving His identity as the promised Messiah. Paul emphasizes that without the resurrection, 'our preaching is vain,' and faith is meaningless (1 Corinthians 15:14). It not only confirms the truth of Jesus' claims but also signifies that those who believe in Him are justified before God, ensuring eternal life for those He has chosen. If Christ is not raised, then believers are still in their sins, and there is no hope beyond this life (1 Corinthians 15:17-19). His resurrection is God's declaration that the work of Christ was sufficient and accepted, heralding victory over sin and death.
