Mark Vestal Supporter Proud of nothing of myself. Freed by Christ who did it all!

When Christ returns in the clouds to gather the church (His body) all believers in Him will be given new glorified bodies of "incorruption". The condition of our old "corruptible" body is irrelevant, as even the bodies of those still living at Christ's return are not the "bodies" that will enter heaven.

1 Cor 15:51-54
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."

1 Thes 4:16-18
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
