Among Evangelicals the Christian hope is often reduced to ‘going to Heaven when we die,’ as disembodied souls/spirits. Yet this pagan idea owes more to Plato than to Paul, who rebutted this notion when writing to Corinth (1 Cor. 15). It’s time to retrieve a genuine, biblical hope—the bodily resurrection and transfiguration of those ‘in Christ.’ En route we address some misunderstood Scriptures. Contrary to many, Paul’s enigmatic saying, ‘The last Adam became a life-giving spirit,’ does not describe Christ’s relation to the Holy Spirit. Rather it denotes the glorified body of the risen Lord. That’s important, since
Christians are promised fully conformity to Jesus, the glorified ‘Heavenly Man.’ Resurrection hope was a great incentive to Paul, governing his life & labor; it should do the same for us
