Paul shows us that within God's creation, there are countless examples of bodies that need to "die" before being raised up again in a similar but much more glorious new body. It happens with seeds all around us, and someday, it will happen to mankind as well - some will be resurrected in a glorified body to everlasting life; others to everlasting destruction. Our eternity rests on this one question: What have we done with the risen Christ?
