What is the meaning of the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

1. The resurrection of Jesus Christ means that believers are justified before God. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. (Romans 4:25) Justification means to “be put right with.”

2. The resurrection of Jesus Christ shows that Jesus defeated death. Death is the enemy of mankind and the just punishment for our sin (Romans 6:23). But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:55-57)

3. The resurrection of Jesus Christ means that believers are united with Christ. When we believe in Christ, we are united to Him in faith (2 Corinthians 4:14). Union with Christ means that when God looks at us, He does not see our unrighteousness, but the righteousness of Christ. It means that we have died with Him and will also live with Him (Romans 6:8).

4. The resurrection of Jesus Christ confirms the truth of Scripture. The book of Job, Isaiah 53, and Psalm 16 are among the many examples of Old Testament Scriptures that prophesied about the resurrection of Jesus: “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.” (Job 19:25)

5. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves the gospel to be true. The fact that Jesus is alive today means that He can save today. But since Christ has risen from the grave, we have hope of forgiveness, justification, and eternal life in Christ.

6. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus Christ did rise from the dead and His resurrection proves His unique status as the Son of God.…[Christ] was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead. (Romans 1:4)

7. The resurrection of Jesus Christ means that God the Father will give His Holy Spirit to believers. This means that Christ’s earthly ministry continues today through His people, in whom He dwells by the Holy Spirit.

8. The resurrection of Jesus Christ gives Christians a living hope. (1 Peter 1:3-4) Being forgiven of sin and justified before God gives Christians tremendous hope.

9. The resurrection of Jesus Christ means that we will be raised like Him. “For as by a man came death,” wrote the apostle Paul, “by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

10. The resurrection of Jesus Christ means that Christ will judge the world in righteousness.

The Path to Eternal Life: Jesus Christ says this to you today: I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.

Do you believe this? (John 11:25-26) If you can answer “Yes” to Jesus’ question, all the benefits of the resurrection are yours.

If you don’t yet believe, put your trust in Jesus today.

There is hope for you in Jesus Christ.

Amen and To God Be The Glory…
