We will get a resurrected body, or a spiritual body to live forever with. ![]() Our earthly bodies will not suit us for a life in eternity. Here on earth our bodies are made to survive on earth, but not in Heaven. Our structure of our bodies will definitely be changed. We get sick, we break bones, we get tired, etc., but our new bodies will be powerful. Our bodies here on earth are weak and frail. Our bodies will be glorious, God created each of us in His image and even said we were “very good” went he was finished making us. Our bodies here on earth are perishable, but our new bodies that Jesus will give us will never perish, for they will eternally live on. When it is completed, when we meet Jesus face to face, we will have our new spiritual bodies. Just like people, we have a sinful body here on earth, and when we grow in our faith with Jesus, we mature, and our bodies change over time. Just like a plant that has grown, there is new life in the plant from the seed. ![]() The scripture talks about how a seed when planted is so different from the actual grown plant. A body that will be sin free, a perfect body that can be in His presence. And then when Jesus comes back for His Church, Jesus will complete the work of transformation and restoration in our bodies by physically giving each one of us a new body. Our bodies will be transformed spiritually by Jesus that we will think and act like Jesus. ![]() So, when we pass from this world into Heaven (only way to Heaven is through acceptance and faith in Jesus Christ) we will be in a state of pre-resurrection. What about those who have passed away now? Scripture tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:8, that to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord. All this is scriptural through the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John. After Jesus died and was resurrected, in His resurrected body, He was still able to eat with the disciples, be touched by the disciples, He had a physical body of flesh and bone, He was also recognizable by His disciples, He could appear and disappear, and He could pass through locked doors. The best part of it, is that in our scripture today, it says our new bodies will be just like Jesus. There will be a day, when Jesus comes back for His Church and the dead will rise from their graves that we will all get a new body, a perfect body that we can only get from Jesus.
