Chapter 31: Of the State of Man after Death and of the Resurrection of the Dead
- The Bodies of Men after Death return to dust, (a.) and see corruption; but their Souls (which neither die nor sleep) having an immortal subsistence, immediately (b.) return to God who gave them: the Souls of the Righteous being then made perfect in holyness, are received into paradise where they are with Christ, and behold the face of God, in light (c.) and glory; waiting for the full Redemption of their Bodies; and the souls of the wicked, are cast into hell; where they remain in torment and utter darkness, reserved to (d.) the judgement of the great day; besides these two places for Souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none.
a. Genesis 3:19; Acts 13:36
b. Ecclesiastes 12:7
c. Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:1, 6, 8; Philippians 1:23; Hebrews 12:23
d. Jude 1:6-7; 1 Peter 3:19; Luke 16:23-24 - At the last day such of the Saints as are found alive shall not sleep but be (e.) changed; and all the dead shall be raised up with the self same bodies, and (f.) none other; although with different (g.) qualities, which shall be united again to their Souls for ever.
e. 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:17
f. Job 19:26-27
g. 1 Corinthians 15:42-43 - The bodies of the unjust shall by the power of Christ, be raised to dishonour; the bodies of the just by his spirit unto honour, (h.) and be made conformable to his own glorious Body.
h. Acts 24:15; John 5:28-29; Philippians 3:21
