Acts 13:33-37
33 God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’ 34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the sure mercies of David.’ 35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm: ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’ 36 “For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption; 37 but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.
God foretold what He would do with His Son, raising from death to life, not dying and rotting but living forever. This resurrection is the hope repeated in the scriptures to assure us of our own eternal life with God, and proven by Jesus rising first to show us. All who die stay dead unless given life. We who have been given life have this hope in which we stand.
