Core concepts
In the New Testament, the three common usages for this term pertain to (1) the Christ, rising from the dead; (2) the rising from the dead, all men, at the end of this present age and (3) the resurrection of certain ones in history, who were restored to life.

By Christ
According to Hodge's Outlines of Theology:
 * Christ secures a resurrection for his people (Romans 10:5-10), by the following means:


 * 1) Christ's own resurrection that seals and consummates his redemptive power; the redemption of persons also involves the redemption of their bodies (Rom. 8:23).
 * 2) Being in union with Christ (1 Cor. 15:21, 22; 1 Thess. 4:14). The union of the Christian with Christ, causes the resurrection of the believer to be similar to, as well as consequent upon that of Christ (1 Cor. 15:49; Phil. 3:21; 1 John 3:2).
 * 3) The Spirit of Christ that dwells in his congregation, making their bodies his members (1 Cor. 6:15; Rom. 8:11).
 * 4) The New Covenant, established by Christ who is Lord of both the living and the dead (Rom. 14:9).

Christ's ministry shed light upon everlasting life and incorruption by way of the Gospels (2 Tim. 1:10). Jesus is quoted saying: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (Joh. 14:6). Christ on earth performed resurrections (Lu 7:11-15; 8:49-56; Joh 11:38-44). Only through Christ can resurrection, with everlasting life thereafter, be possible (Joh. 5:26). Paul the Apostle affirmed the resurrection hope in his Pauline epistles (1 Cor. 15:12-21).

Testaments
The teaching and examples of resurrection occur in both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament.
