The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ was crucified, died, and was buried, but on the third day, he rose from the dead, fulfilling scripture and proving his divine nature (Luke 24:6-7, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). The resurrection is central to the Christian faith and demonstrated the power of God over sin and death (Romans 6:4, Acts 2:24). The belief in the resurrection of Jesus also gives hope to believers that they too will experience eternal life after death (1 Thessalonians 4:14).
