[[Relativism|Relativist]] interpreters emphasize that "the true value of the Gospel" lies primarily in its profound psychological and emotional impact, in '''''the telling of the story''''', without the necessity of it being factually and historically true, as a powerful means of causing spiritual transformation through personal identification with "the struggle and triumph of the mythical Jesus invented by Paul and the Gospel writers and the developed tradition of Christianity".

the The original ending of the Gospel of Mark, as women are stunned by what they found at the tomb.

The Resurrection is the greatest event in history and the best way to overcome personal addictions: Jesus's victory over death, to attain eternal life. Logically, personal awareness of infinity implies personal realization of infinite time (eternity), which compels resurrection.

All can have victory through Christ. Liberal Christians tend to interpret the Resurrection symbolically, while atheists deny it outright through liberal denial; their arguments are rebutted by Christian apologetics.[1][2][3] and the transformational effects of faith in Christ.[4]

Resurrection is the act of coming back from the dead. Jesus' body laid in his tomb until the 3rd day, when Jesus rose again. His body was not like it had been before, being now able to walk through walls and appear suddenly among His disciples. He could also keep Himself from being recognized however He wished. Jesus stayed on the Earth after his resurrection until His ascension.

At the Last Judgment all of the dead will also be physically resurrected and judged according to their works.

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:9-10
See Revelation 20:11-15 and Matthew 25:31-46; Daniel 12:2-3 and 1 Corinthians 15:12-58.
Compare Matthew 7:21-27 and James 2:14-28.
