Scripture references for you to examine the resurrection of Jesus (Psalm 16:8-11; Isa. 53:10; Matt. 16:21; 17:22-23; 20:18-19; 28:1-20; Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:32-34; 16:1-8; Luke 9:22; 18:31-33; 24:1-53; John 2:19-22; 10:17-18; 20:1–21:25; Acts 2:32; Romans 4:25; 1 Cor. 15:3-4, 12-22; Heb. 7:16, 24-25)

What Jesus’ resurrection ensures for us:

1. Christ’s resurrection ensures our justification (Rom. 4:25)
2. Christ’s resurrection ensures our regeneration (1 Peter 1:3; Eph. 2:5-6) 
3. Christ’s resurrection ensures that we will receive resurrection bodies like His (1 Cor. 6:14; 2 Cor. 4:14; 1 Cor. 15:12-58)

Jesus’ constant intercession for us, thus guaranteeing our salvation to the end.

(Leviticus 16; Psalm 110:4; Isaiah 53:12; John 17; Romans 8:31-34; Hebrews 6:19–20; 7:25; 8:3; 9:11–14, 24; 1 John 2:1-2; )
