We believe in the resurrection of the dead because Christ rose from the dead, lives forever, and causes us to share in this eternal life. [988-991]
When someone dies, his body is buried or cremated. Nevertheless, we believe that there is a life after death for that person. In his Resurrection, Jesus showed that he is Lord over death; his word is trustworthy:”I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live” (Jn 11:25b).
