 then we will be on our way to hell. If Jesus had not gotten up out of the grave, there would be no power to change where we are and what we are. And so we are confident in the fact, the promises, he seals it. When he seals it with his death, that means that whatever he says is already in effect. That means that when he got up out of the grave, that means he defeated the devil, rose up with all power in heaven and earth, has been given unto him.
