'...ultimately faith is resurrection faith...." Yes, faith in God and His promises which may be credited by God as "righteousness" (righteous faith) must include our firm belief in the truth that God raised Jesus from the dead. Romans 4:23-25.

One view of Acts 13:32 (NET footnotes) concludes the promise to Abraham of his seed blessing all nations was fulfilled when Jesus was "raised up" (referring to His resurrection). However the NET footnote sees "wordplay" as raised up can refer to bringing someone on the scene of history echos Christ being raised up from the dead.

In reality you would need both, "raisings," yet still IMHO methinks [ 'And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus -- I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David; ] is [ assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. ] according to, the faith, spoken of in the following passage. [ And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed, so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous, and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,
Gal 3:23-25]

I believe the resurrection reveals the death of Christ to be, obedience of faith.

and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross, wherefore also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name,

And of course this awareness of His death and resurrection must be "raised up" by exposure to the gospel before we might put our full trust and devotion toward Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
