Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Luke
24:36-48 KJV (The resurrected
Lord Jesus.)
36
And as they thus spake, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and
saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37
But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they had
seen a spirit.
38
And He said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise
in y0ur hearts?
39
Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself: handle Me, and see;
for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have.
40
And when He had thus spoken, He shewed them His hands and His
feet.
41
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said unto
them, Have ye here any meat?
42
And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43
And He took it, and did eat before them.
44
And He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you,
while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which
were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the
psalms, concerning Me.
45
Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand The
Scriptures.
46
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to
suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His
name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem .
48
And ye are witnesses of these things.
The Apostle Paul, describing the rapture of the church, describes yet
the glorified body.
I
Corinthians 15:49-58 KJV
49
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly.
50
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality.
54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O
death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always
abounding in the work of The Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your
labor is not in fain in The Lord.
Our Lord ascended into heaven in a glorified body.
Glorified

Job
19;24-27 KJV
25
For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth:
26
And though after my skin worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and
not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

13:43 KJV

and His raiment was white as the light.

22:30 KJV

and are given in marriage:
35
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and
the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
marriage:
36
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels;
and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
John

Corinthians 5:1-5 NLT
(New Bodies)
1
For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down
(that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a
house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not
by human hands.
2 We
grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly
bodies like new clothing.
3
For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without
bodies.
4
While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s
not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us.
Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies
will be swallowed up by life.
5
God Himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee He has given
us His Holy Spirit.
Philippians
3:10,11 NLT
10 I
want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him
from the dead. I want to suffer with Him, sharing in His death,
11
so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from
the dead!
Philippians
3:21 KJV
Who
shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His
glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to
subdue all things unto Himself.
Colossians
3:4 KJV
When
Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with
him in glory.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18 NLT (The Hope of the Resurrection)
13
And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will
happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like
people who have no hope.
14
For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we
also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him
the believers who have died.
15
We tell you this directly from The Lord: We who are still living when
The Lord returns will not meet Him ahead of those who have died.
16
For The Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a commanding
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of
God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves.
17
Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the
earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air.
Then we will be with The Lord forever.
18
So encourage each other with these words.
I
John 3:2 KJV
Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for
we shall see Him as He is.
Revelation
1:13-17 KJV
13
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto The Son Of
Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps
with a golden girdle.
14
His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and
His eyes were as a flame of fire;
15
And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;
and His voice as the sound of many waters.
16
And He had in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a
sharp two edged sword: and His countenance was as the sun shineth in
his strength.
17
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead..."
Revelation
20:6 KJV
Blessed
and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the
second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Revelation
21:4 KJV
And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things are passed away.

II
Corinthians 5:21 KJV
For
He (God The Father) hath made Him (Jesus Christ His Son) to be sin
for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of
God in Him.
John
3:3,16,17,36 KJV
3
Jesus answered and said unto him (Nicodemus), Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God.
16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
Life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
36
He that believeth on The Son hath everlasting Life: and he that
believeth not The Son shall not see Life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.
