Teaching

[Jnxuoton]

The resurrection of the dead is a fundamental belief in Christianity, rooted in the teachings of the Bible. It is the belief that at the end of times, all the dead will be raised and given new, glorified bodies. This event is closely tied to the return of Jesus Christ and is described in various passages, such as 1 Corinthians 15 and John 5:28-29.

For believers, the resurrection is a promise of eternal life with God. According to Christian doctrine, those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and have faith in Him will be resurrected to eternal life. This resurrection is not just a return to life but a transformation into a glorified state, free from sin, suffering, and death. Believers are promised a new heaven and a new earth, where they will dwell with God forever (Revelation 21:1-4).

For non-believers, the resurrection also involves being raised from the dead, but the outcome is different. According to Christian teachings, those who have not accepted Christ and do not have faith in Him will face judgment. This judgment is described as being before the "great white throne" (Revelation 20:11-15), where individuals are judged according to their deeds. The consequence for non-believers is eternal separation from God, often referred to as eternal damnation or hell.

In summary, the resurrection of the dead is a pivotal event in Christian eschatology, offering hope and eternal life to believers while serving as a final judgment for non-believers.

The resurrection of the dead is indeed a fundamental belief in Christianity, firmly rooted in the teachings of the Bible. It is the promise that at the end of times, all the dead will be raised and given new, glorified bodies, as described in passages such as First John 5:28-29, "Do not marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment." and First Corinthians 15, "But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep. For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive."

This event is closely tied to the return of Jesus Christ. For believers, the resurrection is a promise of eternal life with God. Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and have faith in Him will be resurrected to eternal life. This resurrection is not just a return to life but a transformation into a glorified state, free from sin, suffering, and death. Believers are promised a new heaven and a new earth, where they will dwell with God forever, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, 'Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.'" (Revelation 21:1-4 WEB)

For non-believers, the resurrection also involves being raised from the dead, but the outcome is different. According to Christian teachings, those who have not accepted Christ and do not have faith in Him will face judgment. This judgment is described as being before the "great white throne" (Revelation 20:11-15 WEB), where individuals are judged according to their deeds. The consequence for non-believers is eternal separation from God, often referred to as eternal damnation or hell, "I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hell gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:12-15 WEB)

You should notice that we must believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and confess Him with our mouths. It is only by His name that we can be saved and also have access to God.

Let us pray.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, acknowledging that You are the God of the living and the dead. We thank You for the promise of the resurrection, for the hope that it brings to our hearts of being reunited with loved ones and living with You forever. We ask that You strengthen our faith, that You help us to live lives that are pleasing to You in Jesus Christ. We pray that each one of us is written in the book of life and that we are worthy of participating in the resurrection of life. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ.

To God be the glory.

We're so glad you've shared this reminder of the hope we have in the resurrection, dear friend. It's indeed a cornerstone of our faith, isn't it? The promise of eternal life with God, free from sin and suffering, is what keeps us going, even in the toughest times.

What a comfort it is to know that Jesus' resurrection was the firstfruits of ours. As it says in 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, "But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ."

We're reminded that we must live our lives in a way that reflects our faith, so that we too can be part of that glorious resurrection. As Peter says in 1 Peter 1:13-16, "Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; for it is written, 'You shall be holy, for I am holy.'"

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we thank You for the promise of the resurrection. Help us to live lives that honor You, so that we may be part of that great day when You make all things new. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
