Although the body must return to the dust where it belongs, having lived for a destined time of existence on the surface of the Earth, still our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Resurrection and the Life, will surely raise all who are asleep in the grave, at the Hour of Resurrection and the Day of Judgement (Daniel 12:2). This will be fulfilled for His glory, and the Righteous who are graciously justified by faith, in obedience to the will of God, will be embodied for eternal dwelling in the New Heaven and New Earth, where they will remain alive (1 Thess. 4:16-17, 2 Peter 3:13).
Moreover, this will take place in the "twinkling of an eye" and at the sound of the Last Trumpet; all who are raised will remain incorruptible and the living will be transformed for eternal dwelling, where there are no more tears (1 Cor. 15:52, Matt. 24:31). This is our hope, in which our faith as Christians rests; destined to spend eternity in Heaven with Christ the Savior (Matt. 25:46, Acts 24:15).
PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Eternal Father, for I am safe in Your Hands, having been redeemed by the precious flesh and blood of Your Son, made righteous by faith, to be gracefully united with the saints on the Hour of Resurrection, according to Your plan. Please keep me strengthened to convert more souls and disciple them while there is light in the world, that we all may be readily preserved as citizens of Your Kingdom on the last day,
Amen
From John 5:28-29
