Bible Verses About Resurrection

The sun has one kind of beauty, the moon another, the stars yet another; indeed, each star has its own individual kind of beauty.

So it is with the resurrection of the dead. When the body is “sown,” it decays; when it is raised, it cannot decay.

When sown, it is without dignity; when raised, it will be beautiful. When sown, it is weak; when raised, it will be strong.

When sown, it is an ordinary human body; when raised, it will be a body controlled by the Spirit. If there is an ordinary human body, there is also a body controlled by the Spirit.

In fact, the Tanakh says so: Adam, the first man, became a living human being; but the last “Adam” has become a life-giving Spirit.

Note, however, that the body from the Spirit did not come first, but the ordinary human one; the one from the Spirit comes afterwards.

The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven.

People born of dust are like the man of dust, and people born from heaven are like the man from heaven;

and just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, so also we will bear the image of the man from heaven.

Let me say this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot share in the Kingdom of God, nor can something that decays share in what does not decay.

Look, I will tell you a secret — not all of us will die! But we will all be changed!

It will take but a moment, the blink of an eye, at the final shofar. For the shofar will sound, and the dead will be raised to live forever, and we too will be changed.

For this material which can decay must be clothed with imperishability, this which is mortal must be clothed with immortality.

When what decays puts on imperishability and what is mortal puts on immortality, then this passage in the Tanakh will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory.

“Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin; and sin draws its power from the Torah;

but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah!

because we know that he who raised the Lord Yeshua will also raise us with Yeshua and bring us along with you into his presence.

We know that when the tent which houses us here on earth is torn down, we have a permanent building from God, a building not made by human hands, to house us in heaven.

For in this tent, our earthly body, we groan with desire to have around us the home from heaven that will be ours.

With this around us we will not be found naked.

Yes, while we are in this body, we groan with the sense of being oppressed: it is not so much that we want to take something off, but rather to put something on over it; so that what must die may be swallowed up by the Life.

Moreover, it is God who has prepared us for this very thing, and as a pledge he has given us his Spirit.

You used to be dead because of your sins and acts of disobedience.

that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah — it is by grace that you have been delivered.
