Romans 10:9 KJV
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Belief in the resurrection of Jesus is central to the salvation of anyone who becomes born-again…

1 Corinthians 15:12-20 KJV
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead…

If Jesus had not been raised from being dead, His death upon the cross would have been meaningless. There would be no forgiveness of sins, no salvation and no eternal life in heaven.

Thank God Jesus was raised from the dead, and they who will proclaim Jesus to be Lord and believe that Gad raised Him from the dead will have been saved by Grace. His death upon the cross paid for our sins and His resurrection provided for us eternal life.

Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed!
