Son of God: What the Resurrection Proves

The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Paul wrote that if Christ did not truly rise from the dead (as some suggested then and even now), then our faith “is in vain” (1Corinthians 15:12-19; esp.v.17). He further argued that the resurrection of Jesus was the most important evidence proving that Jesus was the Son of God (Romans 1:4). He told a skeptical group of Athenian philosophers that God had “furnished proof to all men by raising Jesus from the dead” (Acts 17:31). There is nothing more important than the resurrection of Jesus.
