The resurrection from the dead is a central tenant of the Christian faith. Jesus Himself rose from the dead, revealing that everyone who has faith in Him will never die; instead, although the body may temporarily perish, the believer’s spirit continues on in God’s eternal kingdom. When God establishes a new heaven and a new earth, every faithful soul will receive an eternal body. A body that does not grow old; diseases will be obliterated; death and suffering will not exist. Pregnancy will no longer be necessary; marriage also will be a thing of the past. Everyone will live in perfect fellowship with one another, and with God Himself.
