1 Corinthians 15:17-19–"And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. In in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied."
Christianity is based supremely upon Christ's resurrection. And when we speak of His resurrection, we do not mean His resurrection in a spiritual sense but His bodily, historical resurrection. It is thus of extreme importance that we would always remember that our faith is based on the reality of Christ's resurrection, and our assuredness arises out of the event's historical veracity. This is why Paul can speak so candidly about the necessity of Christ's resurrection being a real, historic event. For if Christ has not raised from the dead then we are hopeless but, even more than that, we are the most to be pitied!
But praise be to God who raised His Son from the grave, saving us from our sin!
