Christians claim that Jesus came to life after death and is alive today. This is an historical event and is central to claims of Christianity. If it never happened, Christians are believing a lie. So why do we believe it's true?
Key Points:
- The resurrection is the central claim of Christianity.
- The eyewitnesses.
- The empty tomb.
- The changed lives of Jesus’s followers.
Quote This:
1 Corinthians 15:14,17-19 And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost!
