In the teachings of the traditional Christian churches, the sacraments derive their saving power from the passion and resurrection of Christ, upon which the salvation of the world entirely depends. [1] The redemptive value of the resurrection has been expressed through Christian art, as well as being expressed in theological writings.
General resurrection or universal resurrection is the belief in a resurrection of the dead, or resurrection from the dead (Koine: ἀνάστασις [τῶν] νεκρῶν, anastasis [ton] nekron; literally: "standing up again of the dead" [1]) by which most or all people who have died would be resurrected (brought back to life).
