Dict: easton - Resurrection of the dead

easton:

Resurrection of the dead @ will be simultaneous both of the just and the unjust kjv@Daniel:12:2; kjv@John:5:28-29; kjv@Romans:2:6-16; kjv@2Thessalonians:1:6-10). The qualities of the resurrection body will be different from those of the body laid in the grave ( kjv@1Corinthians:15:53-54; kjv@Philippians:3:21); but its identity will nevertheless be preserved. It will still be the same body ( kjv@1Corinthians:15:42-44) which rises again. As to the nature of the resurrection body,

(1) it will be spiritual ( kjv@1Corinthians:15:44), i.e., a body adapted to the use of the soul in its glorified state, and to all the conditions of the heavenly state;

(2) glorious, incorruptible, and powerful

(54);

(3) like unto the glorified body of Christ kjv@Philippians:3:21); and

(4) immortal kjv@Revelation:21:4). Christ's resurrection secures and illustrates that of his people. "

(1.) Because his resurrection seals and consummates his redemptive power; and the redemption of our persons involves the redemption of our bodies kjv@Romans:8:23).

(2.) Because of our federal and vital union with Christ ( kjv@1Corinthians:15:21-22; kjv@1Thessalonians:4:14).

(3.) Because of his Spirit which dwells in us making our bodies his members ( kjv@1Corinthians:6:15; kjv@Romans:8:11).

(4.) Because Christ by covenant is Lord both of the living and the dead kjv@Romans:14:9). This same federal and vital union of the Christian with Christ likewise causes the resurrection of the believer to be similar to as well as consequent upon that of Christ ( kjv@1Corinthians:15:49; kjv@Philippians:3:21; kjv@1John:3:2)."
