Jesus' resurrection offers hope and assurance to believers that death is not final. It promises a future resurrection with transformed, immortal bodies, just as Jesus demonstrated.

The Resurrection is not just important; it is “of first importance,” because all that we believe hinges on it. If He was not raised, there is no Gospel to preach.

The importance of the post-resurrection appearances cannot be overestimated. There is no eternal life for believers if Jesus is not risen. Without the post-resurrection appearances, many would not have believed, including some of the disciples. Without the resurrection there is no gospel message.
