If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit who dwells in you. 533
Catechism number 991
Belief in the resurrection of the dead has been an essential element of the
Christian faith from its beginnings. "The confidence of Christians is the
resurrection of the dead; believing this we live."536
How can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there
is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; if Christ has
not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain....
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who
have fallen asleep.537
