1 Corinthians 15:35-58 explains the nature of the resurrection body, contrasting it with our current perishable, natural bodies. Paul uses the analogy of a seed to illustrate transformation: what is sown is perishable, but what is raised is imperishable, glorious, and spiritual. He emphasizes that “flesh and blood” cannot inherit the kingdom of God, necessitating a transformation at the “last trumpet.” Through Christ’s victory, death is defeated, and believers are assured of eternal life and triumph over sin.
