When Paul the Apostle was called upon to defend
himself before King Agrippa, answering the false accusations of the Jews who
were set against him, he spoke of “…the hope of the promise made of God unto
our fathers…”
ACTS
26:6-8
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers: 7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. 8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

And can we even entertain the idea that the Creator of
all life, both physical and spiritual, in raising the dead back to life again,
as a thing impossible or unbelievable? Of course not! Consider these words from Job:
JOB 19:25-27
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
None of the miraculous events of the Bible are unbelievable if you firstly believe:

GENESIS
1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
God called into existence the entirety of heaven and earth, both in its spiritual and physical dimensions from nothing (Heb. barah) and is entirely believable if you believe in the God of the impossible!
