We too must suffer and be raised from the dead.

Just as Jesus Christ suffered and rose again from among the dead,

so too, as disciples of Jesus Christ,

we must surely suffer and surely rise from among the dead

(Acts 17:3).

Just as God, who raised Christ from the dead, will also raise us

(1 Corinthians 15:15).

And since the Spirit of God,

who raised Jesus from the dead, dwells in us,

the same God who raised Christ

will also give life to our mortal bodies

through His Spirit who dwells in us

(Romans 8:11).

At the sound of the last trumpet, in the blink of an eye,

the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will all be changed

(1 Corinthians 15:52).

When the Lord descends from heaven with a cry of command,

with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God,

then the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive, who are left,

will be caught up together with them in the clouds

to meet the Lord in the air,

and so we will always be with the Lord

(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
