Bible Question: If we are going to be changed form mortal to immortality, will we be able to know each other in our godly bodies as we do now on earth? 1Cor. 15:52-54 |
Bible Answer: good afternoon carol: just as you noted in your Scripture reference, we will definitely be different (changed)in heaven. PTL....free of these earthly bodies and into our glorified ones! Scripture also indicates that although our relationships with each other will be different (no marriages in heaven...Matt 22:30), our "knowledge" will actually increase. "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." 1 Cor 13:12 in addition, since the disciples were able to recognize Jesus in His glorified body, one would think that we would be able to recognize each other in ours. all this being said, Scripture does not address this topic as specifically as we mortals would like. we can rest in the fact that there are many things that our human minds just can't understand about the work of God. yet we know that He has things planned for us in heaven that are good and will make sense to us once we're there. "The secret things belong to the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever" Deut 29:29 its wonderful to contemplate the exciting reality of heaven. i pray that it comforts and encourages you as well. |
