*45. What does the resurrection of Christ profit us?
First: by his resurrection he hath overcome death (Rom. 6;9), that he might make us partakers of that righteousness which he had purchased for us by his death (Rom. 4;25). Secondly, we are also by his power raised up to a new life (Rom. 6;4). And lastly, the resurrection of Christ is a sure pledge of our blessed resurrection (1 Cor. 15;20).
