The resurrection is vital and proves that the scriptures are true. Jesus Christ was raised for our justification. He redeems us and brings us into His kingdom. God's just wrath and condemnation is satisfied - it was poured out on Christ. Now we have the promise of eternal life. Jesus has forgiven us our sins and washed them away. In Colossians 1, Paul says "And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight."
At the last day, when Christ returns again, we will get a glorified body.
