3/4/2022

0 Comments

 
1. The bodies of men, after death, return to dust and see corruption:(a) but their souls (which neither die nor sleep) having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them:(b) the souls of the righteous, being then made perfect in holiness, are received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face of God, in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies.(c) And the souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day.(d) Beside these two places, for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none.
          (a) Gen. 3:19; Acts 13:36.
          (b) Luke 23:43; Eccles. 12:7.
          (c) Heb. 12:23; II Cor. 5:1, 6, 8; Phil. 1:23, with Acts 3:21 & Eph. 4:10.
          (d) Luke 16:23, 24; Acts 1:25; Jude ver. 6, 7; I Pet. 3:19.

2. At the last day, such as are found alive shall not die, but be changed:(e) and all the dead shall be raised up, with the selfsame bodies, and none other, although with different qualities, which shall be united again to their souls for ever.(f)
          (e) I Thess. 4:17; I Cor. 15:51, 52.
          (f) Job 19:26, 27; I Cor. 15:42, 43, 44.

3. 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; and be made conformable to His own glorious body.(g)
          (g) Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29; I Cor. 15:43; Phil. 3:21.

    About the Study

    For nearly 375 years, the Westminster Confession of Faith has been the standard of Reformed theology around the world. It is right and proper for Reformed Christians to study the Confession our ancestors wrought so many centuries ago.
