At the last day, such as are found alive shall not die, but be changed: and all the dead shall be raised up, with the self-same bodies, and none other (although with different qualities), which shall be united again to their souls for ever.
This is the great hope of the Christian, the towering truth proclaimed by the Apostle Paul in the fifteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians. We, being created as psychosomatic unities, are not condemned to endure an eternity of incompleteness, but instead live in the expectation that just as we are now spiritually new creatures in Christ so we will physically be new creatures, glorious creatures, in Christ and will live and reign with him for eternity in a remade universe.
