“But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without foundation, and so is your faith.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:13-14‬ ‭HCSB

‬‬At the core of Christianity is the fact that Jesus was raised from the dead. Remember what Paul said in verse 4?

“that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

If Jesus’ tomb was still filled or that he raised from the dead but then 33 years later died again then our whole religion would be a lie. 

And this is how the anti-christian groups what to portray Christianity. They want us and the rest of the world to view Christianity as a lie. But outside of the Bible, there is plenty of evidence to back up the truth of the Bible. Lee Strobel in “The Case for Christ” points to the evidence behind the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. J. Warner Wallace in the movie “God’s Not Dead 2” explains the eye witness accounts of the resurrection of Jesus line up with exactly what He would discover with any other eye witness accounts of any other investigation. Then there is the empty tomb. That has been preserved for 2,000 years for us to go visit in Israel. 

So if our faith is based on the truth of Jesus’ resurrection than we need to make sure all of our beliefs and based on the truth of the Word of God as God’s eyewitness account of what has happened and what is happening and What will happen in the last days. Keep your eyes open to how the world is moving not just here in America but around the world especially the Middle East. The nation of Israel is still God’s Holy People and we as Christians are adopted into that heritage.

“Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, though a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them and have come to share in the rich root of the cultivated olive tree, do not brag that you are better than those branches. But if you do brag — you do not sustain the root, but the root sustains you. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” True enough; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either. Therefore, consider God’s kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God’s kindness toward you — if you remain in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. And even they, if they do not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, because God has the power to graft them in again. For if you were cut off from your native wild olive and against nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these — the natural branches — be grafted into their own olive tree?”
