2. The
resurrection is proof to me, that God is the Creator of the universe and has
power over it. This makes me respect Him for who He is. He is worthy of my faith
and worship.
3. The
resurrection of Jesus Christ also validates who Jesus claimed to be, namely,
the Son of God and Messiah, the only Savior of the world. His resurrection was
the “sign from heaven” that authenticated His ministry (Matthew 16:1–4).

4. The
resurrection of Jesus Christ further proves His sinless character and divine
nature. The Scriptures said God’s “Holy One” would never see corruption (Psalm
16:10), and Jesus never saw corruption, even after He died (see Acts 13:32–37).
5. The
resurrection of Jesus Christ also validates the Old Testament prophecies that
foretold of Jesus’ suffering and resurrection (see Acts 17:2–3). The Bible is a
truly inspired collection of holy writings.
6. The
resurrection shows me that Christ’s words are true. He claimed that He would be
raised on the third day and that exactly what happened (Mark 8:31; 9:31;
10:34). I can rely on His words.
7. Christ’s
resurrection gives me hope that, even if I die, one day I’ll be resurrected
too. In fact, apart from Christ’s resurrection, we have no Savior, no
salvation, and no hope of eternal life. (1 Cor 15:14–19; 53–57).
8. The
resurrections shows me that Christianity is the best and the only meaningful
religion. Some religions teach that a person who dies comes back as a reptile. Some
teach that death is the end but in Christianity people will be resurrected into
eternal being. Every other religion was
founded by men or prophets whose end was the grave. As Christians, we know that
God became man, died for our sins, and was resurrected the third day. The grave
could not hold Him. He lives, and He sits today at the right hand of the Father
in heaven (Hebrews 10:12).
9. The
resurrection of Jesus makes me endure hardships now because I know this world
won’t be my end. I’m following the example of thousands of Christian martyrs who
have willingly traded their earthly lives for everlasting life and the promise
of resurrection.
10. In a
nutshell, the resurrection proves who Jesus is. It demonstrates that God
accepted Jesus’ sacrifice on my behalf. It shows me that God has the power to
raise me from the dead. It guarantees that the bodies of those who believe in
Christ will not remain dead but will be resurrected unto eternal life.
