In “The Future Body,” John Mulligan invites us to look forward with hope to the resurrection, reminding us that this world is not our home. While our present bodies bear the marks of weakness, decay, and limitation, God promises something greater. Scripture calls us to fix our eyes not on the temporary but on the eternal, knowing that when Christ returns, our earthly tent will be exchanged for something glorious. Paul tells the Philippians that Christ “will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body” (Phil. 3:21). John echoes the same truth: “We shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). Our future bodies will not be subject to pain, age, or disease; they will be imperishable, powerful, and suited for eternity with God. Just as Adam bore the image of the earthly man, we will bear the image of the heavenly man—Jesus Christ. The best version of ourselves awaits, crafted by God’s own design, freed from the frailty and dishonor we now experience. But this hope is not meant for passive waiting. John reminds us that “all who have this hope purify themselves, just as he is pure.” The promise of resurrection calls us to respect our present bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit and to live faithfully as salt and light in a world that is passing away. Each act of obedience, each step of godliness, is a preparation for the eternal life to come. Glorious will be our resurrected body—and glorious is the God who gives it.
