New Body

You are raised in Christ. Christians have belief in the fact of the risen Christ. Christians have faith in the person of the risen Christ. The risen Christ means that Christ is alive and present now. Christians are risen in Christ by faith in Christ and baptism. Christ’s death vanquished sin. Christ’s resurrection vanquished death. Christ’s death destroyed our spiritual disease; sin, and his resurrection created a new human body. God promised that those who believe in Him will be saved. God keeps his promises. Christ is risen with a glorified new body. The new body man will inherit will not die. It will be the perfect body. When Christ ascended to heaven he brought the human body to heaven. The human body became divine. By the Incarnation, Resurrection and Ascension, man was made different but God was also made different. The body of the person of Christ was integrated to the Trinity. The result is that mankind has become partakers of the divine. The soul is immortal. The soul was always immortal. The soul is who we are, our individual consciousness, our truly unique personality. As no two personalities are the same; no two souls are the same. The moment of conception, is the moment the body begins as it is the moment God created your soul united with that body. The human body before the resurrection was mortal but after the resurrection it is immortal through Christ. As members of the human family we share with all an immortal soul; but also as Christians, members of God’s family, we now have immortal bodies. Christ’s resurrection changed the nature of creation. The purpose of creation is man. Creation changed because the nature of man changed. Man now has an immortal body as is his soul.
