Resident Strangers 43 | Future Bodily Resurrection
The whole gang is back together on Resident Strangers! Rich is back from his break and is once again joining Steve and Sarah in the studio. They're jumping right back into the doctrinal statement held at Desert Springs, talking about the future bodily resurrection. This is a concept that brought hope to people who heard it then and continues to bring hope to believers now. Eternal life is truly brought through Jesus. The physical body is not what makes someone who they are, it is the spirit within. 2 Corinthians 5 says that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Those who believe in Jesus will live forever but the question is where? What exactly is included in the new earth? It is important to remember that this eternal life in the new earth is only for those who have believed and trusted in Jesus as their Savior. The reality is that hell is also a place that people will go after death. Jesus is very clear that hell is a real place, He talks about it quite a lot in the new testament. This is something that should seriously motivate believers to be sharing with those around them. When someone dies is there a place before the Great White Throne judgement? Is being in the presence of God immediate from the moment of death? Steve and Rich break those questions down. Near the end of the conversation Steve quotes C.T. Studd who said, "only one life will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last." Make sure you come back next Tuesday as this topic will be delved into further!
