 What is the importance of Jesus’ Christ resurrection for us?

So let’s look at seven essential biblical beliefs that have their foundation in the resurrection of Jesus.

1. The resurrection proves Jesus was exactly who and what He said He was.

The disciples saw the fact that God had raised Jesus from the dead to eternal life as God’s seal of approval—God’s backing of everything Jesus said. Previously, God the Father had referred to Jesus as His Son in whom He was “well pleased” (Matthew 3:17; 17:5).

After being resurrected as a glorified spirit being by the Father, Jesus “sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Hebrews 1:3). In addition, Jesus’ resurrection fulfilled in exact detail the prophecies He had given regarding His resurrection.

2. The resurrection proves the primacy of Jesus’ teachings.

Jesus is the only one God has raised from the dead in this way. Therefore, what He said is true and is the foundation for everything we believe. Addressing this important principle, Paul wrote that the Church “having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord” (Ephesians 2:20-21).

Just as the cornerstone was the most important part of a building, Jesus’ instruction should be the foundation for our beliefs (1 Corinthians 3:11). Everything we believe must be in harmony with Jesus’ words.

3. The resurrection proves that the penalty for our sins has been paid in full.

The fact that God raised Jesus from the dead shows that God accepted His sacrifice and that it was fully adequate to pay the penalty of sin for all. Hebrews 1:3 notes that “when He [Jesus] by Himself purged our sins” then He sat down at the Father’s right hand—the honored position from which He now assists the Father.

4. The resurrection guarantees that God can raise us from the dead to immortal life.

Many times in the New Testament Jesus is referred to as being raised “from the dead.” In most cases, the actual Greek phrase is “out from among the dead.” What is the difference? The fact that He was raised out from among the dead means that though He is raised to life, the dead still remain dead.

5. The resurrection makes Jesus the actual, living, active Head of the Church.

Jesus Christ is not just another human being who lived and died long ago. He is not just a deceased carpenter, teacher, rabbi or prophet. He is the living, active, day-to-day decision maker for His Church.

As Paul noted, Jesus “is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence” (Colossians 1:18). This was true in the past; it is true today; and it will remain true on into the future.

6. The resurrection guarantees Jesus’ return.

Every promise for the future is predicated upon Jesus return, but if He had not been raised from the dead, all promises of His rulership in His Kingdom would be meaningless. He promised He would return and said that He wanted His followers to be with Him. On the evening prior to His crucifixion, Jesus told His disciples: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself” (John 14:3).

In the last chapter of the last book of the Bible Jesus further promised that His reward would be with Him when He returns. “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work” (Revelation 22:12).

None of these promises regarding His return would be possible unless Jesus was resurrected.

7. The resurrection is the guarantee of ultimate justice.

If Jesus had not been raised from the dead after living a perfect, sinless life, the only conclusion we could draw is that in the end, evil permanently wins and good is destroyed. The crucifixion and resurrection powerfully demonstrate God’s mercy and justice.

Let us never forget the incredible importance of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. It is the anchor of every hope we have and ultimately the anchor of hope for all mankind.
