Jesus Christ’s resurrection was a demonstration of God’s power

The power of God the Father

Ephesians 1:18–20 ESV
having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
See also Mt 22:29–32; Ac 2:24; Ac 3:15; Ac 10:40; Ac 13:29–30; Ga 1:1; Col 2:12

The power of the Holy Spirit

Ro 1:4; 1 Ti 3:16; 1 Pe 3:18

The resurrection confirmed Jesus Christ as the Son of God

Jn 20:30–31 John calls Jesus Christ’s miracles “signs” (see also Jn 2:11; 6:2) and his resurrection is the climax, confirming his identity beyond all doubt; Ro 1:4
See also Ps 2:7; Ac 13:33

The centrality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ

As the basis of faith

1 Corinthians 15:14–15 ESV
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
See also Ac 3:15; Ac 4:33; Ac 17:18; Ac 24:21; Ro 10:9; 2 Ti 2:8; Heb 6:1–2

As the basis of believers’ justification

Ro 4:25; Ro 8:34

As the basis of Christian hope

Ac 24:15; 1 Co 15:19

As the basis of believers’ resurrection

1 Co 15:20–23 The Law of Moses (Ex 23:16) provided for an offering of the firstfruits of crops to God. The firstfruits were the guarantee of the full harvest to come. The NT sees the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the firstfruits of the full ingathering of all God’s people when Jesus Christ comes again.
See also Jn 14:19; Ac 26:23; Ro 8:11
