21 passages
God's Eternal Glory

Paul's botanical metaphor for union with Christ destroys every version of Christianity that treats the resurrection as a future reward rather than a present biological reality.
The Old Testament's most explicit resurrection text doesn't comfort everyone — it terrifies half its audience.
A man with rotting skin stakes his eternal hope not on escape from the body but on seeing God through it.
