Those who knew Jesus and saw Him after He rose from the grave, changed the world. Are these witnesses credible? Most of them died for being followers of Christ and for telling of His resurrection. People rarely die for a lie or halfhearted belief.

1 Corinthians 15:13-17 Paraphrased
If there isn't resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. If Christ was not raised, then all our preaching is useless, and trust in God is useless. And we apostles would all be lying about God, for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave, but that can’t be true if there isn't a resurrection of the dead. .
And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless, and you are still under condemnation for your sins.
