It validates Jesus' claims about His identity and confirms that His death fully paid for our sins. This historical event, supported by multiple eyewitnesses and the disciples' willingness to die for their testimony, proves God's authority over all creation. Through the resurrection, complete forgiveness becomes available to all who trust in Christ, offering freedom from guilt and shame while restoring our relationship with God.
