Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures (Isa. 53:12). (Ps. 34:20; cf. Jn. 19:33). (Isa. 53:9; cf. Jn. 19:38-42).

Jesus Christ was buried.

Jesus Christ rose again according to the Scriptures (Ac. 2:29; cf. Ps. 16:8-10), (Psalm 110:1), (Ac. 2:34-35), (Matthew 27:59 - 28:3), (Mark 15:44 - 16:4), (Luke 23:50 - 24:12). (John 19:40 - 20:8)

(Mk. 16:16)The fact that we not only have credible, eyewitness testimony concerning Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, but also have these and many more amazing detailed prophecies concerning these events leaves no excuse for disbelief .

(1 Cor 15:3-6) For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.


Those who trust in God are no longer guilty

What can I do to be free of guilt?

No one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what his law commands. For the more we know God's law, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying it. But now God has shown us a different way of being right in his sight—not by obeying the law by the way promised in the Scriptures long ago. We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done. For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Christ Jesus, who has freed us by taking away our sins. For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed his blood, sacrificing his life for us. God was being entirely fair and just when he did not punish those who sinned in former times. And he is entirely fair and just in this present time when he declares sinners to be right in his sight because they believe in Jesus.

Romans 3:20-26 NLT

What we cannot do for ourselves

This is the gospel in a nutshell: God knows we are guilty and knows we cannot save ourselves. He has done for us what we cannot do for ourselves. He sent Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sin. When we trust in him, the consequence of our sin is fully removed.
