Jesus’ resurrection conquered our final enemy, death.

I will find hope and eternal life through Jesus’ gospel.

Covenant context

Although all founders of history’s religious leaders have died, only Jesus has resurrected. His resurrection is at the heart of who we are as Christians. Without it, the gospel would not be good news, for sin and death would still reign. However, Jesus conquered sin, death, and hell and invites all humanity into this new and better covenant with Him.
