What happens to believers who are alive and remain when Christ comes?
Believers alive and remain at Christ's coming will be changed. They are part of the Body of Christ, which will be resurrected in total. This change is tied to the finished work of the cross—Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose for our justification.
Les explains that the Body of Christ, called out from the Gentile world, will one day be resurrected in total. For those who are alive and remain at Christ's coming, they will be changed. This change is based on the finished work of the cross—how Christ died for our sins, His blood was shed, He was buried, and He rose from the dead for our justification. Les notes that this truth is not found in Scripture until the revelations given to the Apostle Paul, and that I Corinthians 15 is the current study. He indicates the details of this change for the living and remaining will be examined in the next half hour.
