But some will say, “How are the dead raised up?
And with what body do they come? Foolish, one
what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And
what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall
be, but mere grain – perhaps wheat or some other
grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to
each seed its own body (1 Corinthians 15:35-38).
When a seed is planted, part of it dies. The same
principal applies to this body. Just like a seed that is
planted and the plant that proceeds from that seed
differs in glory of appearance to the seed, so will it
be when the soulish body will be transformed into a
spiritual body. The body will be resurrected into a
specific form or glory, because inherent within each
human spirit is the prediction or prophecy of what
the body will be. As certainly as a plant seed, when
planted, brings forth after its own kind so the
spiritual body will take on the shape of the human
spirit. What we have attained in our spirits, when
they go to God and our bodies are laid to rest,
predetermines what kind of bodies we shall have.
