§1038The resurrection of all the dead, "of both the just and the unjust,"621 will precede the Last Judgment. This will be "the hour when all who are in the tombs will hear [the Son of man's] voice and come forth, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment."622 Then Christ will come "in his glory, and all the a…
In the dead who were raised by Christ we possess the highest proof of the resurrection; and our hearts are shown to be capable of life eternal, because they can now receive the Spirit of God. 1. Let our opponents — that is, they who speak against their own salvation— inform us [as to this point]: The deceased daughter of the high priest; the widow's dead son, who was being carr…
1. What I have often said, I will now say, that Christ looks not so much to His own honor as to our salvation; not how He may utter some sublime saying, but how something able to draw us to Him. On which account His sublime and mighty sayings are few, and those also hidden, but the humble and lowly are many, and abound through His discourses. For since by these men were the rat…
Chapter 6.—What is the First Resurrection, and What the Second. After that He adds the words, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself.”13341334 John v. 25, 26. As yet He does not…
Chapter 23.—What Daniel Predicted Regarding the Persecution of Antichrist, the Judgment of God, and the Kingdom of the Saints. Daniel prophesies of the last judgment in such a way as to indicate that Antichrist shall first come, and to carry on his description to the eternal reign of the saints. For when in prophetic vision he had seen four beasts, signifying four kingdoms, and…
My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. The Jews understood rightly that Jesus was making himself equal with God. Calvin shows that Christ's defense is a full assertion of his divine nature: the Son does whatever the Father does. The Father has given all judgment to the Son. The hour is coming when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and live — this refers both to t…
We believe also in the resurrection of the dead. For there will be in truth, there will be, a resurrection of the dead, and by resurrection we mean resurrection of bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:35-44 For resurrection is the second state of that which has fallen. For the souls are immortal, and hence how can they rise again? For if they define death as the separation of soul and body…
We believe the souls of the dead are either in a state of blessedness or of condemnation, according to what each hath wrought; for we confess that the souls of the righteous are in light and rest, with a foretaste of eternal happiness, while the souls of the wicked are in a state of punishment and suffering. But neither are the righteous in full possession of the reward promise…
We believe in the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with glory and great power, to judge the living and the dead, and that His kingdom shall have no end. And we look for and expect the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven, in the glory of the Father, with the holy angels, and shall sit upon the throne o…
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
The resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
He suffered for our salvation, descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead. He ascended into heaven, He sits on the right hand of the Father, God almighty, from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies, and shall give account of their own works. And they that have done good shall go into li…
We believe that the end of the world is approaching; that at the last day Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave to final retribution; that a solemn separation will then take place; that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment, and the righteous to endless joy; and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven or hell…
