Question:

Will we ever get new bodies in heaven like Jesus?

Answer:

Yes, we will, at the resurrection, when Jesus returns to receive His children to Himself. Look at the passages below.

1 Thessalonians 4     15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are

asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15     42 So also is the resurrection of the deadThe body is sown in corrupt-ion, it is raised in incorruption43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Philippians 3     20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be con-formed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

How wonderful it will be to have the bodies that God intended for us from creation, bodies that are like “His glorious body”! God bless!
