Today I share about resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:20 says, “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”
Lord Jesus died and rose again, Christ is the firstfruits. In the future we will also be raised, resurrected. Our lowly bodies will be transformed to a glorious spiritual body like Lord Jesus’ body.
Paul talked about Spiritual body in 1Cor 15:42-44/50-53
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
From the above passages, we see that we will be raised with an imperishable, glorious, spiritual bodies.
Dead to Sin, Alive to God Rom6:4-7
4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
So at baptism, we died with Christ, raised with Him, we live a new life, we receive power to live this new life, this new life free from the power of sins. This new life is dead to sin, alive to God. This new life is a resurrected life.
