Jesus is the key to membership in God s family. When He established His deity by rising from the grave, He made it possible for us to have forgiveness from sin and a renewed relationship with God. 1  Eyewitnesses to His perfect life: Matthew 16:13-17.
The Apostle Paul wrote about the importance of the resurrection in his letter to the Corinthians. He wrote, âIf there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faithâ¦ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.hatâs because if the resurrection isnât true then weâre still in our sins, and following Christ is meaningless! Both believers and non-believers agree that if Jesus rose from the dead then we have an intellectually feasible argument that the claims of Christianity are true.
