The Resurrection of Christ Is …

Proof of the deity of Christ

“Jesus Christ … declared to be the Son of God with power … by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:3,4).

An integral part of the gospel

“The gospel which I preached to you… that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

The seal of the finished work of Christ

“When He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Hebrews 1:3).

Essential for salvation

“If Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!” (1 Corinthians 15:17). “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).

Evidence of the believer’s justification

“Jesus our Lord … was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification” (Romans 4:24,25).

Vital for possession of eternal life

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die” (John 11:25,26).

Guarantee of the believer’s resurrection

“Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus…. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout… And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).

The reason for the believer’s hope

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who … has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3).

The assurance of the sinner’s judgment

“He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” (Acts 17:31).

“But now Christ is risen from the dead” “He also presented Himself  alive … by many infallible proofs” (1 Corinthians 15:20; Acts 1:3).
