Resurrection

Jesus Christ, after dying on the cross, arose bodily from the grave on the third day. Through faith we are raised with Christ, and granted the same Holy Spirit power that raised Christ. The benefits of Jesus’ resurrection include the forgiveness of sins, justification, sanctification, and ultimately glorification. His righteousness is imparted to us at the time of saving faith, and brings us new life by the Holy Spirit, which regenerates us with a new nature and begins sanctifying us to become increasingly more like Jesus. Because Jesus is alive forever, we confidently trust that one day we will likewise rise from our grave to live together as God’s people with Him forever.
