In Christianity, Jesus's triumph over death is central to the faith, signifying hope and eternal life through his death and resurrection, offering a path to forgiveness and a new life for believers.
Jesus's death on the cross, followed by his resurrection, are key events that demonstrate his victory over death. The resurrection provides hope for believers that they too can overcome death and experience eternal life. Jesus's death is seen as a sacrifice that atones for the sins of humanity, offering forgiveness and reconciliation with God. Through faith in Jesus, believers are said to receive a new life, both spiritually and potentially in the afterlife.
The New Testament, particularly the Gospels and the Book of Romans, provides the foundation for these beliefs. John 11:25-26: "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die." 1 Corinthians 15:26-27, 54-57: "The last enemy to be destroyed is death. It says, "Death is swallowed up in victory."
