One of the most intriguing events, when Christ returns and probably one of the most speculative, is wondering what kind of bodies we will have in the afterlife. There are many theories concerning our bodies about which we could argue all day, some give good food for thought, whilst others aren’t even worth discussing, but whatever our bodies will b...
‘We ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.’ Romans 8:23
There’s no doubting that when Christ returns we are promised that we will be reunited with our bodies, I don’t think anyone would argue with that, but the real question is, what will these new bodies of ours be like? There are a few Scriptures which will help us answer this question.
‘I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all slee...
To ‘inherit’, ‘kleronomeo’ is to receive a share of an inheritance, to inherit a portion of the property, and to be an inheritor or heir. Clearly, flesh, blood, and corruption, the physical man of Adam, do not belong in heaven. Heaven is an eternal and immortal abode and thereby corruptible flesh has no place there. 1 Corinthians 15:39spoke of the various fleshes that were of the earth and these fleshes have no place in eternity, whereas the heavenly body, is fit for eternity. The Scriptures...
1. Man will go from a perishable state, death and decay, to an imperishable state, unending existence. 2. Man is said to go from a mortal state to an immortal state. When this transformation occurs in the resurrection, Paul states that Isaiah’s prophecy will have been fulfilled. Isaiah said, ‘Death is swallowed up in victory,’ Isaiah 25:8 Victory s...

The apostle Paul gives a little clue as to what is involved in this change, he tells us that our bodies will be glorious like Christ’s glorious body. At the resurrection is when we’re going to get our total salvation. The total salvation Jesus won for us on the cross, we haven’t received yet, because God doesn’t just want to save our souls, He wants to save our bodies. The bodies we have now are lowly bodies, in other words, they are still subject to sin, death and decay and disease. But God’...
‘Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.’ 1 John 3:2
These verses tell us that those who die, having trusted Christ as their Saviour, will be given bodies like that of the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be a body that isn’t subject to disease and death any longer. It will be in all points perfect, as the Lord Jesus Christ’s body is also perfect. We further know from 2 Corinthians 5:8that a Christian, immediately upon their death, goes into the presence of the Lord.
Jesus wasn’t a spirit walking around after His resurrection, He had a body, much like what we will have. The Gospels tell us a great deal about what Christ’s glorious body was like and what He did whilst He was still here. A passage that gives a clear description of Christ’s resurrected body is found in Luke 24, as He appeared to the disciples.
Jesus said to Mary, ‘Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.’ John 20:17 Jesus is telling Mary not to clutch on to Him because there is work to be done, she needs to tell others what has happened and so there’s a sense of urgency. She wanted to hold on and not let go of Him, but Jesus wouldn’t allow her. This has nothing to...
‘We ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.’ Romans 8:23
We know from these verses that we will be reconciled with our bodies at the resurrection, but they will be new, in terms of glorious.
There’s no escaping the fact that Jesus’ resurrected body did things that the un-resurrected body couldn’t do.
One of the biggest proofs that our new resurrected bodies are different from our old one is seen in the ascension of Jesus.
