I Corinthians 15:39-43

I Corinthians 15:39-43 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: Things are different. Birds are different than people. Birds have wings and can fly, but people cannot. But people can think and dream and figure things out. The earth is one thing, but the sun is different. I am glad that we live on the earth. If we were on the sun, we would burn up! But if we didn’t have the sun to warm the earth, we would freeze on earth. So both the earth and the sun are necessary. We humans are different from Angels. We have three parts: body, soul and spirit. God breathed into Adam and he became a living soul. But Adam sinned, and passed his sin nature on to his children, and on to us. We need to be born again. And when we are born again into God’s forever family, we are given the spirit of God. We will live forever with God, our heavenly Father. So when we die, our spirit goes to heaven to be with God and our loved ones cry and bury our physical body. Our body is put into the ground. But someday, it will be resurrected and reunited with our spirit. That is called the Rapture of the Saints. Jesus will come back in the clouds, the archangel will sound his trumpet, and three wonderful things will happen. Those who are saved will be instantly changed into their glorified eternal bodies. Those who are dead will be changed, they will come up from where they are buried, and they will be reunited with their spirits. Then all who are saved, will go up to heaven to be with God in their new, resurrected bodies to be with the Father and the Son of God forever and forever. What a day that will be!
