Why must Christians believe in the resurrection?

Answered in 1 source

Believing in the resurrection is essential for true faith; without it, Christians have no hope of salvation.

The belief in Jesus Christ's resurrection is not optional; it is a fundamental requirement for authentic Christian faith. Paul makes this abundantly clear in 1 Corinthians 15:14, where he states that if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is in vain, and so is our faith. Without the resurrection, there is no assurance of forgiveness, no victory over sin, and no hope for our own resurrection. It is through His resurrection that we find the guarantee of our future life, as He is the firstfruits of those who have died (1 Corinthians 15:20). By denying the resurrection, one implicitly denies the efficacy of Christ's redemptive work, thus undermining the very foundation of the Gospel. Therefore, the resurrection is central to the Christian faith, offering reassurance and hope for believers.
