Changes brought by the resurrection 1 Corinthians 15:35-58: Some were asking, "How will the dead be raised to life? What kind of bodies will they have?" They were taught that changes would take place. What sprouts up from the seed looks different from the seed. God gives everything the kind of body He wants it to have. All animals are made of flesh, but each is different. Heavenly bodies and earthly things are likewise different. Even the sun, moon and stars are different. So, our body when raised from the dead will be different from its present condition. Those ugly, weak, mortal bodies will become beautiful, strong and immortal. Our physical body will be changed into a spiritual body.

Adam was a person that had received life from God. Jesus, the last Adam, is a life giving spirit. The Adam with the physical body came first and then the spiritual. That is just how it is with each of us also. We first have a physical body. It is earthly, temporary, and made of dust. Our resurrected body will be like the body of Him that came from heaven. It will be a heavenly body. Our earthly body will decay because, "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incur-eruption." We will either face death or live till Christ comes. In either case our bodies will be changed. If you are living when Christ returns that change will take place suddenly. We will all be changed so that we will never die again. Death will lose the battle and we will have victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The conclusion is that sense death does not end it all we should be, "steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord..." (1 Corinthians 15:58) The resurrection proves that everything you do for the Lord is worthwhile.
