Our resurrection bodies

“But someone may ask, ‘How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?’ How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.” 1 Corinthians 15:35-36
There are various thoughts about what kind of body we will have in heaven. We are told in the Scriptures, “what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2). Our resurrection bodies will be just like Jesus’.
Because of the impending resurrection, many people are divided over burial vs. cremation. The argument against cremation is that at the resurrection, there won’t be any DNA left from which to re-create our bodies. But the same is true in burial – the DNA is broken down and reabsorbed by the earth, plants, etc. Even while we are alive, the cells in our body are constantly being replaced.
Paul uses the analogy of a seed, when referring to the resurrection. When a seed germinates, the husk does not form any part of the plant that grows from it. It is left behind in the earth. The seed, then, is our spirit. At the resurrection, God gives it a new body, fit for heaven, and just like Jesus’ resurrection body. Our resurrection bodies will not be inferior to the physical bodies we have now – no way!
