12 key results of the resurrection

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest event in human history, shaping the course of eternity and transforming the lives of believers. It secures the victory over death and sin, promises eternal life, empowers the church for mission, and assures the world of the ultimate sovereignty of God. Through the resurrection, Christians are given a living hope, a transformed life, and the assurance that one day they will be raised to eternal glory with their risen Saviour. And the resurrection of Jesus is not only a past event – it is the present hope and future promise for all who trust in him.

Here are twelve key results of the resurrection… 

The Validation of Jesus’s Divine Identity

The resurrection is the ultimate proof of Jesus’ divine nature and the fulfilment of his promises.

Throughout his ministry, Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, the Messiah, and the Saviour of the world.

The resurrection from the dead validated these claims in the most definitive way possible.

As Romans 1:4 states, He was “declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead.”

The Defeat of Death

The resurrection of Jesus marks the ultimate victory over death.

In his resurrection, Jesus defeated death once and for all, ensuring that death no longer has the final say for those who are in Christ.

This is made clear in 1 Corinthians 15:54-55: “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

Jesus’ victory over death assures every believer that death is not the end but a transition into eternal life with him.
