The Resurrection: Saints In, Shall: Be Recompensed
Jump to: Torrey'sLibrarySubtopicsTerms
Topical Encyclopedia
The concept of resurrection is central to Christian theology, representing the hope and assurance of eternal life through Jesus Christ. The resurrection of the saints is a pivotal event in eschatological teachings, where believers are promised recompense for their faith and deeds.

Biblical Foundation

The resurrection of the saints is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. In John 5:28-29 , Jesus declares, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment." This passage underscores the dual outcome of resurrection: life for the righteous and judgment for the wicked.

The Apostle Paul elaborates on this in 1 Corinthians 15, where he discusses the resurrection of the dead as a cornerstone of Christian faith. In 1 Corinthians 15:52 , he writes, "in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." This transformation signifies the glorification of the saints, who will be raised to eternal life.

Recompense for the Saints

The recompense for the saints is not merely the act of being raised from the dead but includes the rewards and inheritance promised by God. In Matthew 16:27 , Jesus states, "For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done." This repayment is a divine acknowledgment of the faithfulness and righteousness of the saints.

The Book of Revelation further describes the rewards awaiting the saints. Revelation 22:12 records Jesus saying, "Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done." This promise of recompense is a source of hope and motivation for believers to persevere in their faith.

The Nature of the Resurrected Body

The resurrected body of the saints is described as imperishable and glorified. In Philippians 3:20-21 , Paul writes, "But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body." This transformation reflects the ultimate victory over sin and death, as the saints are conformed to the image of Christ.

Eternal Life and Inheritance

The resurrection leads to eternal life, a central promise of the New Testament. In John 11:25-26 , Jesus assures, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies. And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die." This eternal life is not merely an unending existence but a life in the presence of God, filled with joy and peace.

The inheritance of the saints is also emphasized in 1 Peter 1:3-4 , which speaks of "an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you." This inheritance is the culmination of God's promises, secured through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Conclusion

The resurrection of the saints is a profound testament to God's faithfulness and justice. It assures believers of their future recompense and eternal life, encouraging them to live in accordance with God's will. Through the resurrection, the saints are not only vindicated but also glorified, sharing in the victory of Christ over death.
