Bible Verses for Easter

Are you looking for Bible verses for Easter?

In the beginning, God created the world. It wasn’t perfect, but it was good. Right up to the point where humankind rejected God’s plan for them. The consequence of our sinfulness is being separated from our perfect God for all eternity. In this life and in what’s to come.

That’s the foundation of the gospel, but that’s not where the story ends.

Because at just the right time, God sent Jesus to redeem His people. Jesus lived the life we couldn’t live and died the death we deserved to die, and then He rose again. He conquered the grave. Not just that, He bridged the gap between a perfect God and His imperfect people.

That’s what Easter is all about. It’s about celebrating what Christ did, and what it means to us. Below, you’ll find a list a Scriptures that will help you center your heart this Easter season.
