What does the Bible really say about eternal life—and what happens to our bodies after death? In this episode, Steve Wood unpacks the powerful truth of 1 John 3:2 and tackles common misconceptions, including the widespread but unbiblical belief that the soul alone goes to heaven. Instead, Scripture teaches the resurrection of the body and a future of embodied life on a renewed earth with Jesus.
Steve draws from Acts, Philippians, John’s Gospel, and Revelation to explain what Christians can truly expect after the Second Coming—and what that means for both believers and unbelievers. He also offers a thoughtful reflection on cremation, the Catechism, and how our burial choices can witness to the hope of resurrection.
