The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a cornerstone of Christian faith, demonstrating God's power over death and sin. As revealed in Revelation 1:18, Jesus Himself declares, "I am He who lives," emphasizing His eternal existence. The Gospels, particularly John 3:16 and John 14:6, highlight Jesus' role as the source of eternal life, while 1 Corinthians 15:20 confirms that He has been raised from the dead, becoming the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. Through His resurrection, believers can have confidence in their own eternal life, as affirmed in 1 John 5:13.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you!” He said to them. After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.” When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.” Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
