Concerning Redemption, Eschatology: The Resurrection
a. The Greek word is "anastasis", which signifies "a raising up."
It is used Scripture to designate the future general raising, by the power of God, of the bodies of all men from the sleep of death.
b. Old Testament passages.
Job 19:25-27; Psa 49:15; Isa 26:19; Dan 12:1-3
c. New Testament passages.
Mat 27:52,53; Jhn 5:28,29; 6:39; Act 2:25-34; 13:34; Rom 8:11,22,23; 1Cr 15:1-58; Phl 3:20,21; 1Th 4:13-17
d. The body to rise again.
Phl 3:21; 1Cr 15:53,54; Jhn 5:28; 1Th 4:13-17; 1Cr 6:15; Jhn 20:27
e. The nature of the resurrection body.
1. It is to be spiritual.
2. Like Christ's body.
3. Glorious, powerful, and incorruptible.
4. It shall never die.
5. Never to be given in marriage.
f. The resurrection of Christ secures and illustrates that of His people.
1. Because His resurrection seals and consummates His redemptive power, and the redemption of our bodies.
2. Because of our federal and vital union with Christ.
3. Because of His Spirit who dwells in us
(Rom 8:11), making our bodies His members. 1Cr 6:15
4. Because Christ by covenant is Lord both of the living and the dead.
This same vital union causes the resurrection of the believer to be similar to, as well as consequent upon, that of Christ.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
