Glorified bodies
are the resurrection bodies
of believers.
Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body.
It is sown in corruption;
it is raised in incorruption.
Glorified bodies are the resurrection bodies that believers will receive. They will be like the glorious body of Jesus after His resurrection. At the Rapture the dead in Christ will rise and the living will be changed. This mortal shall put on immortality. The body is sown in weakness and raised in power; sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body. Believers will dwell in heaven in these bodies, and they will share in the first resurrection.
