ant from the grave and
showed Himself alive by many infallible proofs, He manifested His power
as the conqueror of death.

It is clearly taught in Scripture that there is to be a general
resurrection of the righteous and the wicked. In addition to texts
already quoted, we find John declaring, "I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God, ... and the sea gave up the dead which were in
it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them";[220]
and Paul writes to the Thessalonians, "We that are alive, that are left
unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are
fallen asleep ... and the dead in Christ shall rise first."[221]

The resurrection is associated with the second coming of Christ. It is
His voice that shall awake the dead, and the angels who will accompany
Him are to gather them from the four winds of heaven to the
judgment-seat of Christ, "that everyone may receive the things done in
his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or
bad."[222]

In resurrection, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost take part. God the Father,
who "both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own
power":[223] God the Son: "As the Father raiseth up the dead, and
quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will":[224] God the
Holy Ghost, who, as the Giver of life, by His special action will raise
our bodies: "He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken
your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."[225] The Lord
Jesus Christ is the meritorious cause of resurrection: "By man came
death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all
die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."[226] His resurrection
is the pledge and the pattern of ours. "If we have been planted together
in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection."[227]

Christianity teaches that the body as well as the soul is redeemed by
the Lord Jesus Christ, "the Saviour of the body."[228] We are called to
glorify God in our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Ghost, and we
must give account for the deeds done in and through the body, as well as
for those sins which are rather of the mind and will than of the body.
The body will be raised and will be judged. God will bring to light all
hidden things--actions forgotten by ourselves, deeds of which the world
knows nothing, as well as those which memory retains and the world knows
