Bavinck on the significance of the physical resurrection of Christ (8 points):
1. proof of Jesus' messiahship
2. a seal of his eternal sonship
3. a divine endorsement of his mediatorial work
4. the inauguration of the exaltation he accomplished
5. the guarantee of our forgiveness and justification
6. the fountain of numerous spiritual blessings: the gift of the Spirit, repentance, spiritual eternal life
7. the principle and pledge of our resurrection
8. the foundation of apostolic Christianity
The resurrection is "the 'Amen!' of the Father upon the 'It is finished!' of the Son."
