The resurrection of the body is a fundamental belief that one day all the spirits of people who have passed on from this earth will be raised from the dead and reunited with their bodies. The resurrection of the body is one of the most important and clearly attested truths in all of Scripture, extending back to the days of the patriarchs. The Bible teaches that there are two resurrections, one unto life and one unto death, with judgment to follow each. The doctrine of resurrection, therefore, rejects the possibility of annihilationism (eternal unconsciousness).
