Why is Jesus' death and resurrection central to the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' death and resurrection are essential for satisfying God's justice and ensuring believers' salvation.

The death and resurrection of Jesus are pivotal because they accomplished what was necessary for our salvation. According to Romans 6:23, the wages of sin is death, indicating that a penalty must be paid. Jesus came to bear that penalty in our place, fulfilling God's demand for justice. He had to die to satisfy God's righteousness and pay the sin debt incurred by mankind. Furthermore, His resurrection guarantees our future resurrection and eternal life with Him, affirming the certainty of our salvation as declared in 1 Corinthians 15:20, where Paul emphasizes that just as Christ was raised from the dead, so too shall all who believe in Him live forever.
