Resurrection and Final Judgment | In-Depth Plan of Salvation 8/12

Diagram: the Resurrection brings four kinds of bodies, Sun, Moon, Stars and Perdition; the Final Judgment then leads to the Celestial, Terrestrial and Telestial Kingdoms or to Perdition, Outer Darkness — 1 Corinthians 15:41-44 41 There is one Glory of the Sun, and another Glory of the Moon, and another Glory of the Stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the Resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in Incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in Glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in Power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a Spiritual Body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Because Jesus Christ rose, every person will rise with an immortal, perfected body. Resurrection permanently reunites body and spirit.

At final judgment, Christ considers our works, words, thoughts, desires, opportunities, and the person we have become. His judgment is informed by complete knowledge and perfect love.
