The Resurrection is the means by which we have been set free from the fear of death. As N. T. Wright explained, “The point of the resurrection, despite much misunderstanding, is that death has been defeated. Resurrection is not the redescription of death; it is its overthrow.”32 Those who surrender themselves to God through faith in Christ partake in his resurrection. They are granted life without end. This is why we can declare with Paul, “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
