I have a question about the resurrection that may not be the type of question usually asked. The atoning sacrifice was Jesus crucifixion by which Christians attain salvation. Why did Paul write in 1 Corinthians 15:14

I can understand how Christianity is "useless" if there was no crucifixion (with the atoning sacrifice) but nowhere is the bible that I can see where Paul explained his reasoning. It seems to me that whether Jesus was risen or not the atoning sacrifice was already made. Afterall, he said as he died

So someone please explain the importance of the resurrection. Someone once told me that it serves as an evidence of Christian faith but that just seems to raise more problems to me since evidence means faith is not necessary.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

You mean that Christian faith has nothing to do with his atoning sacrifice? That seems to be a radically new and different way of looking at it. I'll bite, how does the bible justify faith not in the crucifixion and it's atonement but in the resurrection only?
