In Romans 8:11, the Apostle Paul wrote, “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” Just as the Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead, so the Holy Spirit raised us from the death of our trespasses and sins?

Our confession of faith in Jesus’ resurrection means nothing if our daily lives are not radically transformed.

In 1 Corinthians 15:1-19, Paul affirmed the resurrection of Christ as the essential doctrine of the Christian Faith. Then, he validated the visible resurrection of Jesus Christ by the changed lives of those who believed the gospel.
