The resurrection is a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a>, which Peter quotes earlier in <a href="/acts/2-27.htm">Acts 2:27</a>. The resurrection is a divine act, underscoring Jesus' identity as the Son of God. It confirms Jesus' victory over death and sin, a cornerstone of Christian faith. The resurrection is also a pivotal event that distinguishes Christianity from other religions, as it asserts that Jesus is alive and active in the world today.<p><b>to which we are all witnesses</b><br>The term "witnesses" refers to the apostles and other followers of Jesus who personally saw the risen Christ. This eyewitness testimony is crucial for the credibility of the resurrection account. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-5.htm">1 Corinthians 15:5-8</a>, Paul lists those who witnessed the resurrected Jesus, providing a historical basis for the claim. The role of a witness in the first-century context was significant, as it provided legal and social validation. The apostles' willingness to suffer and die for their testimony further supports the truth of their claims.
