It is so with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay, it is raised free from decay. It is sown in humiliation, it is raised in splendor. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in strength. read more.
It is a physical body that is sown, it is a spiritual body that is raised. If there is a physical body, there is a spiritual body also. This is also what the Scripture says: "The first man Adam became a living creature." The last Adam has become a life-giving Spirit. It is not the spiritual that comes first, but the physical, and then the spiritual. The first man is of the dust of the earth; the second man is from heaven. Those who are of the earth are like him who was of the earth, and those who are of heaven are like him who is from heaven, and as we have been like the man of the earth, let us also try to be like the man from heaven. But I can tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot share in the Kingdom of God, and decay will not share in what is imperishable. I will tell you a secret. We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised free from decay, and we shall be changed. For this perishable nature must put on the imperishable, and this mortal nature must put on immortality. And when this mortal nature puts on immortality, then what the Scripture says will come true??Death has been triumphantly destroyed.
Goodspeed
