IMPORTANCE OF THE RESURRECTION:
Why is the doctrine of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead so important to the Christian faith?
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen;
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain and your faith is also vain. (I Corinthians 15:13-14)
Believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ is necessary to become a true believer:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9)
Paul presents the resurrection of Jesus as a part of the message of the Gospel:
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures;
And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. (I Corinthians 15:1-4)
