Bible Questions and Answers

Jesus was resurrected with flesh and bones.

Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

The difference was that before his death he lived like us by the circulation of the blood (the life is in the blood).

After his resurrection he lived by the Spirit of God.

He was given the divine nature.

This is possessed by angels and is promised to faithful believers.

2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Luke 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Philippians 3:20 For our conversation (commonwealth) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Strictly speaking, there are no ‘spirit bodies’ only bodies energised or made alive by the Spirit of God. These are not governed by the physical laws that constrain us. They can appear and disappear at will and pass through seemingly solid objects.

I hope you find this helpful.

God bless,
