What happens to believers who are alive when Christ comes for the Body of Christ?
Those who are alive and remain at His coming will be changed. The Body of Christ, called out from among the Gentile world, will one day be resurrected in total, and the living members of that Body will experience this change. This truth is studied in I Corinthians 15.
Les explains that the Body of Christ is called out from among the Gentile world and will one day be resurrected in total. For those who are alive and remain, the promise is that they will be changed. This follows from the revelation given to the Apostle Paul, whose gospel was based on the finished work of the cross—how Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again for our justification. In the study of I Corinthians 15, Les was building this concept of the Body of Christ and indicated that the details of this change would be examined shortly.
