The Resurrection of Christ is the assurance of our future resurrection from the dead. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory” (1Corinthians 15:55 KJV). If Jesus did not conquer death, neither will we. Atonement is bringing humanity AT-ONE-MENT with God by making amends for our sins. Christ’s death satisfied God’s Perfect Law — “the soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezekiel 18:4). His atonement for our sins satisfied Public Justice, where Christ’s perfect sacrifice made possible God’s offer of amnesty to all of us rebels, who now take sides with God against ourselves.  Otherwise, the offer of forgiveness of sins to whomsoever repents is an impossibility. “If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins” (1Corinthians 15:17). Hallelujah! Jesus defeated death and arose from the dead! “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (15:57).
