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: "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself." (Philippians 3:20, 21) We will have a body like Christ's glorified one. If that is what John sees in Revelation 1, I bet we will be quite impressive. In any case, we see nothing of ghost bodies, and I see no reason why we would not recognize each other. Certainly there is nothing in Scripture that says we will not. Jesus does tell us that marriage between a man and a woman is an earthly institution and is not an eternal state of matrimony (Matthew 22:23-32). Actual houses? Hmmm...good question, but we will be in holiness and perfection serving the Lord our God for all eternity, like we should be doing completely now. --Joe! |
