The Heidelberg Catechism, This Lord's Day week 22



Q57: What comfort do you receive from the "resurrection of the body"?

A57: That not only my soul after this life shall be immediately taken up to Christ its Head,[1] but also that this my body, raised by the power of Christ, shall be reunited with my soul, and made like unto the glorious body of Christ.[2]
1. Luke 23:43; Phil. 1:21-232. I Cor. 15:53-54; Job 19:25-27; I John 3:2
Q58: What comfort do you receive from the article "life everlasting"?

A58: That, inasmuch as I now feel in my heart the beginning of eternal joy,[1] I shall after this life possess complete blessedness, such as eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered into the heart of man,[2] therein to praise God forever.[3]
1. II Cor. 5:2-32. I Cor. 2:93. John 17:3; Rom. 8:23; I Peter 1:8
