      There had to be a price to pay. Plus all the prophecies in the Old Testament would not have been truthful but just a fairy tale, plus Satan would be running amok. Jesus had to die to pay for man kinds sin. He then had to resurrect to defeat death, to enable all the Christian brothers and sisters to see Heaven after death.

      If Jesus would not have died for our sins we would have been cursed to hell once we passed away. Second if Jesus did not die for our sins we would have had to prepare an alter and a sacrifice with a burnt offering to please the Lord. Lastly, if Jesus did not die upon the cross evil would run rampant through the Earth with a higher trajectory.

      The implication is that IF Jesus did not rise from the dead not only is our faith in vain BUT we have absolutely no hope. When we die here on earth we are no more. Then what was the reason for our being and how did we get here. Another implication is that it would mean there are no consequences for anyone’s behavior. We know this is not true because we have a conscience and our conscience tells us that there is a distinct right and wrong. This is why as humans we have reacted laws. We placed value on obeying those laws and impose serious consequences for breaking those laws. The fact that as a society we share the same basic belief in right and wrong proves that there is a higher being who gave us a conscience in the first place.

      Paul says that if Jesus did not rise from the dead, our faith is futile, we are still in our sins, and we benefit nothing. On a personal note, if Jesus did not rise from the dead and reconcile me back to God, I’m lost.

      If Jesus did not raise from the tomb, all of the followers were deceived, and everything that was preached was a lie. However, we know through the moral character of the disciples, the witness of many people, and the word of God, that He arose from His tomb.

      The apostle Paul states that if Jesus did not rise from the dead then what we believe is not true. The prophecy is that the King will die and rise again. Jesus fulfilled this prophecy. Christianity’s foundation is this prophecy being completed. If this prophecy was not completed then what we as Christians know would fall through. We as Christian’s stand strong on the foundation of Jesus dying and resurrecting.

      If Christ has not been raised, then the preaching and faith are in in vain by Apostle Paul. I believe resurrection of Jesus Christ is very foundational aspect of our faith in God. Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and He offered eternal life for those who believe in Him. Our salvation is only through Jesus Christ.

      He stated that if Christ has not been raised from the dead then our proclamation is in vain and so is your faith. We are False witnesses about God, because we would have testify wrongly, if he was not raised from the dead, also our faith would be worthless and you are still in your sins.

      Christianity is based on Christ’s fulfillment as the Messiah. Without his death and resurrection, he would not be able to fulfill that mission and Christianity would collapse. However, since he did, to wonder otherwise is pointless.

      If Christ did not rise from the dead all of our faith and all of our hope in useless, in vain, as stated in Ecclesiastes “all is vanity” or just a vapor, not real. Being a resurrection believer gives me the Hope of an eternity with my Lord. and this is my reality. If this is not so I would be the most miserable person of all.

      Like what Paul says in verse 19, “If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.” Without Christ rising from the dead we have nothing, no conquering over death, no atonement, no all powerful savior. We have nothing!

      Then if Christ has not risen, the preaching of the disciples was false. If their message is false we are not justified by Christ as HIs death would have been meaningless without the essential part of being raised from the dead to signify God’s approval of His death for our forgiveness of sin. Our faith is futile and we are still in our sins. All are still lost. We are to be pitied for believing a lie.

      If Jesus didn’t die on the cross for the remission of my sins and rise again, I wouldn’t be experiencing a life of freedom through faith in the risen Christ. I would have been destined to live my entire life as an alcoholic, drug addict, sex addict, among other strongholds without hope.

If no resurrection, salvation from sin would not be possible and we would live eternally separated from God. There would be no possibility of eternal life with Christ in heaven. The earth would be a terrible place to live.

      Christ’s resurrection is important because He died and was raised by the Father so that our sins could be forgiven and we could be reconciled to the Father. Where sin is, God is not. If Christ hadn’t risen, we would have no hope in being resurrected after our death. We have a hope and a promise that we will be raised and live in Heaven forever.

      If, Jesus did not rise from the dead Christianity and our faith would be empty and void. If Christ did rise from the dead all of humanity will have fallen for the greatest hoax to ever befall mankind. If God the Father did not raise Jesus from the the grave that would mean that God is a liar and cannot be trusted. It would mean that heaven and hell do not exist and that life is meaningless. But! Jesus was raised from the dead and He has triumphed over sin and death. How do I know this? Because the very Word of God says so. The Bible is a living breathing document, it is the very breath of God as He spoke to chosen men through inspiration and the moving of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the only book to ever stand the test of time and many attempts to discredit and even destroy it throughout the ages. As I said, it is God breathed, it is filled with the very words of the one and only true God. Of which cannot lie for God is perfect, the author of truth and since He is the author of truth He cannot lie and what He says just is. There is an old saying that state “God said it, I believe it, that settles it”. But what it should say is “God said it ,that settles it. Period

      If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, then the work of salvation is not finished and my hope of eternal life is void. My faith would be empty and my attendance at church would be unnecessary because there would be nothing important to listen to. I would then die in my sins, never knowing the saving grace of a loving Heavenly Father. If there was no resurrection, there would be no hope, no salvation, no loving Father, no Holy Spirit to convict me of my sin. The world would be an empty, lonely place.

      The resurrection is central and critical to the Faith we have received from God Himself, because the wages of sin is death and God appeared in the flesh to bring not only Himself but us back to the life He intended for us to have. Paul through the Spirit argues that if there is no resurrection, there was really no point on Him becoming flesh and the “Perfect Sacrifice for our sins”. So we would still be in the Old Testament instead of the “New Covenant of His Blood”, this still waiting for”the Promise”.
