Of the State of Men after Death, and of the Resurrection of the Dead, XXXII:3

The bodies of the unjust shall, by the power of Christ, be raised to dishonor: the bodies of the just, by His Spirit, unto honor; and be made conformable to His own glorious body.

In the end, all who have died shall be raised. But there is a great difference in the destiny of men. Those who are of Christ will be raised in honor and glory and be made like unto him. Those who are still in their sins will be raised to wrath and dishonor. It is the subject of judgment to which we next turn.

Tomorrow: The coming judgment.
