Resurrection and Glorification

Sažetak
Every Christian’s hope for the future is based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise that His resurrection assures res¬urrection and eternal life for those who be¬lieve in Him(l Cor. 15:20,21; 2 Cor. 4:14).
Christ’s return to life after His death on the cross assures Christians that His promises are reliable and that all those who commit their lives to Him in trust can look forward to eter¬nal life that is not subject to death. This resur¬rection occurs at the return of Christ (1 Cor.- 15:51, 52; 1 Thess. 4:16). For those who have died in Christ it will mean a return to life from the unconscious sleep of death. For believers in Christ who are alive when He returns it will mean transformation to an immortal existence in the new earth. For all who are in Christ it will include a new body, glorified and no longer subject to death (1 Cor. 15:42-44). In a sepa¬rate resurrection the wicked rise to face the total destruction of the second death (Rev. 20:5-10).
This consistent biblical perspective of the resurrection of the dead is both different from and incompatible with the popular belief in the immortality of the soul.
The article begins by exploring the biblical material on the resurrection and glorification of believers, then reflects on the significance of the doctrine, and ends with a survey of vari¬ous understandings of resurrection and life after death from a historical perspective.
