If Christ is not raised, then no power exists that can deliver anyone from God's just condemnation to death and overcome sin in us. Without resurrection, the holy life, ministry and death of Jesus would profit neither Him nor others. Without the resurrection, Satan has conquered. Malice, hatred and wickedness would triumph over them. It is ridiculed and openly assaulted.
Infidelity is on the rise.
Pagan philosophies belittle Jesus' principles and judge Him a weakling. Because by raising Jesus from death to the power of an endless life, God showed that He approved of all that Jesus did and taught. Those who love darkness shun the doctrine of Christ's death and resurrection. These essential Bible truths imply that moral renovation and spiritual quickening are essential. Those who love darkness do not want to change their life-style.
