Bible Question:
WILL WE HAVE ARMS AND LEGS AND A BODY IN HEAVEN? I HAVE BEEN TOLD WE WILL BE GHOST LIKE AND THAT WE CAN SEE THROUGH EACH OTHER. ALSO THAT WE WILL NOT KNOW OUR HUSBANDS OR WIVES. WILL WE HAVE ACTUAL HOUSES TO LIVE IN? THIS IS AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE. WILL WE HAVE THINGS TO DO LIKE WORK. |
Bible Answer: 1 Corinthians 15:52,53 states, "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality." In Rev. 1:13-17 describes Jesus in His glorified body as having a chest, feet, head, hair, eyes and even a face, so we can only assume that our 'heavenly bodies' would be comparable in form with the glorified body of Jesus. There is no Scriptural evidence for a 'ghostlike' body. I believe that we will be aware of those people that we knew before here on earth such as family or husbands and wives. We don't know about houses and work and things of that nature, but we do know that the 'old order of things' has passed away (Rev. 21:4), and we will have no need to worry about such things in the presence of our Eternal Master!! We can rest assured that we will remain active and doing His will for all eternity! Please refrain from using all capitals in future posts. Thank you! Blessings, Nolan |
