- Through Jesus’s death, our bondage to sin and death dies. And through his resurrection, we are raised with him to an entirely new life.

Apr 13, 2022 · Since the first century, Christian hope has been rooted in the resurrection, and resurrection isn’t what happens when we die. It’s what happens when our bodies are raised from the grave at the second coming of Christ (1 Cor. 15:51–54).
