NASB | 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again [as in fact He did], even so God [in this same way--by raising them from the dead] will bring with Him those [believers] who have fallen asleep in Jesus. |
Bible Question: Who are the "dead in Christ" in 1 Thess 4:16? If deceased Christians are with Christ, how can they also "rise first"? |
Bible Answer: Tell me where their body is while they are with the Lord and I think that you will answer your own question. 1 Cor. 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. Our position right now is in Christ, even though we don't see Him. When we die then it will see Him face to face. Man has a body, soul and spirit. Our bodies are sinful now but even this Christ will change when we acquire our new bodies at the rapture. |
