What kind of a body shall we have in the Resurrection?

It will not be flesh and blood (1 Corinthians 15:50-51), but on the other hand it will not be pure spirit, but have flesh and bones (Luke 24:39). It will be incorruptible—not subject to decay, imperishable, glorious, powerful (1 Corinthians 15:42-43). The days of weariness and weakness will be forever at an end. The body will be able to accomplish all the spirit’s purpose. It will be luminous, shining, dazzling, bright like the sun (Matthew 13:43; Daniel 12:3; compare Matthew 17:2; Luke 9:29). Resurrection bodies will differ from one another (1 Corinthians 15:41-42). The resurrection body will be the consummation of our adoption, our placing as sons (Romans 8:23). In the resurrection body it will be outwardly manifest that we are sons of God. Before His incarnation Christ was “in the form of God” (Php 2:6), that is, in the visible appearance of God. The word translated “form” in this passage means that with which anything strikes the outward vision. So shall we, in the Resurrection, be in the visible appearance of God (compare Colossians 3:4, R.V.; 1 John 3:2, R.V.).
