Most Christians believe that Jesus died on the Cross, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven after appearing to his apostles, and about five hundred other people. The existence of this large group of witnesses is cited as support for the resurrection as a historical event.
Scripture tells us there is Only One way To be saved and become ChristiansRomans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
