For Paul, Jesus' death and resurrection solved this problem of the exclusion of the gentiles from God's covenant. [24] ' Dying for our sins' refers to the problem of gentile Torah-observers, who, despite their faithfulness, cannot fully observe commandments, including circumcision, and are therefore 'sinners', excluded from God's covenant.

[8]: 14–15 [15] Jesus' words "the day I die" in Quran 19:33 are interpreted by most Muslims in the future sense (Jesus will die on the day of resurrection): [3] There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them. —

[32] The gospel accounts provide narratives of the resurrection, ultimately leading to the ascension of Jesus into Heaven. Jesus' victory over death became the central belief of Christianity. [33]
In this view, God's divine law requires that only the sacrificial death of a perfect human can atone for Adamic sin. Faith in the ransom of Jesus Christ—the Last Adam—is regarded as the only way to atone for sin and escape death. Jehovah's Witnesses [13] and the Seventh-day Adventist Church [14] are among the denominations that hold to this ...
