THE RESURRECTION
OF THE DEAD IN CHRIST:

“…HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED UP? AND WITH WHAT BODY DO THEY COME? FOOLISH ONE,
WHAT YOU SOW IS NOT MADE ALIVE UNLESS IT DIES…AND WHAT YOU SOW, YOU DO NOT SOW THAT

BODY THAT SHALL BE…THE BODY IS SOWN IN CORRUPTION, IT IS RAISED IN INCORRUPTION.
IT IS SOWN IN DISHONOR, IT IS RAISED IN GLORY. IT IS SOWN IN WEAKNESS, IT IS RAISED IN POWER.

IT IS SOWN A NATURAL BODY, IT IS RAISED A SPIRITUAL BODY. THERE IS A NATURAL BODY,
AND THERE IS A SPIRITUAL BODY… HOWEVER, THE SPIRITUAL IS NOT FIRST, BUT THE NATURAL,

AND AFTERWARD THE SPIRITUAL. THE FIRST MAN WAS OF THE EARTH, MADE OF DUST;
THE SECOND MAN IS THE LORD FROM HEAVEN…AND AS WE HAVE BORNE THE IMAGE OF

THE MAN OF DUST, WE SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY MAN.
NOW THIS I SAY, BRETHREN, THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD;

NOR DOES CORRUPTION INHERIT INCORRUPTION. BEHOLD, I TELL YOU A MYSTERY:
WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED -- IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN

EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMPET. FOR THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND, AND THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED
INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED. FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION,

AND THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY. SO WHEN THIS CORRUPTIBLE HAS PUT ON
INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL HAS PUT ON IMMORTALITY, THEN SHALL BE BROUGHT TO PASS THE

SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN: ‘DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.’
‘O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING? O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?’
...BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHO GIVES US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.”

1 Cor 15:35-57 excerpts
