In Romans 5:10 (AMPC), Paul tells us about the hope we get from Jesus coming back to life. This hope means we win over both sin and death. The verse says, "For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more [certain], now that we are reconciled, that we shall be saved (daily delivered from sin’s dominion) through His [resurrection] life."

Think about how big this is. We're not just friends with God because of Jesus' death, but His coming back to life means we keep getting saved from sin. It's like saying, "Hey, sin, you don't control us anymore!"

Also, in 1 Corinthians 15:17-19, Paul talks about how important Jesus coming back to life is for our faith. He says, "And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope[a] in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied."

The victory over sin and death is inseparable from the reality of Jesus' resurrection. Our faith is strong because of this - we're sure that sin's power is gone, and death can't hold us down anymore..
