1Co15

If Christ has not been raised, then christians are the most pitiful people on earth! Since Christ has been raised, christians have hope for this life AND the life to come.

The most critical truth of the scriptures is the resurrection. If Jesus did not conquer death, then He cannot save us from its sting. Since He did conquer death, we can have confidence that He can abolish death for us. Death is not the end, it is the beginning. Death is the door to eternal life.

Jesus died on the cross for our sins. He lived His perfect life for our righteousness. And He was resurrected to seal our eternities. This is the gospel. It is good news for all who place their faith in Jesus.
