Confidence

How can I have confidence that God will someday resurrect me?

God’s Response

Why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. 1 Corinthians 15:12-13

As to whether there will be a resurrection of the dead . . . long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said, “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” So he is the God of the living, not the dead. Matthew 22:31-32

You can only be confident that you will be raised from the dead if you believe that Jesus died for your sins—that he was truly dead and that he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. If Jesus was raised from the dead with a new body, then he was who God claimed he was, for no human has ever had power over death. And if Jesus is God, you can believe him when he says that those who believe in him are assured of also being resurrected and of living forever with him in heaven. Do you believe? Your very life depends on it.

God’s Promise

I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again. John 11:25
