26. Death and Resurrection
The wages of sin is death. But God, who alone is immortal, will grant
eternal life to His redeemed. Until that day death is an unconscious state
for all people. When Christ, who is our life, appears, the resurrected
righteous and the living righteous will be glorified and caught up to meet
their Lord. The second resurrection, the resurrection of the unrighteous,
will take place a thousand years later. (Job 19:25-27; Ps 146:3, 4; Eccl 9:5,
6, 10; Dan 12:2, 13; Isa 25:8; John 5:28, 29; 11:11-14; Rom 6:23; 1 Cor
15:51-54; Col 3:4; 1 Thess 4:13-17; 1 Tim 6:15, 16; Rev 20:1-10.)
