Resurrection
Quick answer
Resurrection is God raising the dead to bodily, deathless life — begun in Jesus and promised to all who are his.
Overview
The Bible''s hope is not escape from the body but the redemption of it. The Old Testament''s glimpses (Daniel 12; Ezekiel''s dry bones) become the centre of the New: Jesus is "the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep," raised bodily and never to die again. His resurrection vindicates his claims, secures our justification, and guarantees that those united to him will likewise be raised. The story ends not with souls in heaven but with a new creation full of resurrected people.
