The Gospels give narratives of the resurrection. The Epistles explain that belief is necessary (Rom10:9-10), that it demonstrates God's power (Eph 1:19-20), that it is our future hope (1Pe 1:3-5), and it anticipates Christ's return to rule (Php 2:9-11, Col 1:15-20). 1Corinthians challenges us that Christ's resurrection gives reason to worship and serve faithfully until He returns or takes us home.
