I Corinthians 15:22

"For as in Adam all die, (We covered that in the last lesson, that when Adam sinned as the Federal head of the human race then every human being that has been born since has that fallen sin nature of Adam.) even so in Christ (remember the Creator of everything) shall (what's the next word?) all be made alive."


Now that throws a curve at people if they don't read it carefully. They might say, "Now wait a minute. Are the lost going to be resurrected?" Yes! That's surprises people. Let's go back to John's Gospel. The lost are going to be resurrected. They're not in their eternal state as yet. They're going to have to come out bodily to appear before the Great White Throne of Revelation 20. And then they'll go to their eternal doom bodily, where they'll have a body fit for the Lake of Fire, whereas we will have a body fit for Glory. Now Jesus explains it Himself so clearly in John's Gospel Chapter 5, and drop in at verse 28.


John 5:28,29a

"Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice. And shall come forth;..."


Now from that verse alone we have people who teach a general resurrection; everybody all at the same time. The saved and the lost. The saved go to their glory and the lost go to their doom. All that are in the graves are going to hear God's call to come forth. But let's be careful that we don't read just that far and stop. Let's read on.


John 5:29b

"...they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation (or condemnation)."
