What will our resurrected body actually be like? Will we be invisible spirits floating on clouds forever? In 1 Corinthians 15, the Apostle Paul answers the most common questions about resurrection — and the answer may change everything you thought you knew.
This verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 15:35-50 unpacks what the Bible really teaches about our eternal body. Les Feldick shows that we will not be disembodied spirits but will have a real, physical body for eternity — fashioned like Christ's own glorious body after His resurrection. He cross-references Philippians 3:20-21, Ephesians 1:13-14, Romans 8:18-23, Luke 24, and Genesis 9 to build a complete biblical picture. The key revelation? Jesus' resurrected body was flesh and bone — not flesh and blood — and ours will be the same.
• What does 1 Corinthians 15:35 mean — "How are the dead raised up?"
• What kind of body will we have in the resurrection?

• Why flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 15:50)
• The last Adam — Christ as a life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45)
• The Spirit will replace the blood as the source of life in eternity
