In Jesus' time the Sadducees denied in bodily resurrection while the Pharisees believed in it. However, at least the tone of a hope of immortality pervades the entire Old Testament, including the faith of the patriarchs - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Israel) - in God's promises.

It was equally by faith that Sarah, in spite of being past the age, was made able to conceive, because she believed that he who had made the promise would be faithful to it. Because of this, there came from one man, and one who was already as dead himself, more descendants than could be counted, as many as the stars of heaven or the grains of sand on the seashore.

All these died in faith, before receiving any of the things that had been promised, but they saw them in the far distance and welcomed them, recognising that they were only strangers and nomads on earth. - Heb. 11:11-13 -

In the Lord Jesus Christ we have God's full revelation about immortality of both the body and spirit. His bodily resurrection is proof of our immortality.

Your brother, Jesus said to her 'will rise again'. Martha said, 'I know he will rise again at the resurrection on the last day'. Jesus said:
'I am the resurrection,
If anyone believes in me, even though he dies he will live,
and whoever lives and believes in me
will never die.
Do you believe this?' - John 11:23-26 -

He will repay each one as it works deserve. For those who sought renown and honour and immortality by always doing good there will be eternal life; for the unsubmissive who refused to take truth for their guide and took depravity instead, there will be anger and fury. - Rom. 2:6-8 -

This grace had already been granted to us, in Christ Jesus, before the beginning of time, but it has only been revealed by the Appearing of our saviour Christ Jesus. He abolished death and he has proclaimed life and immortality through the Good News; and I have been named its herald, its apostle and its teacher. - 2Tim. 1:10-11 -

Now if Christ raised from the dead is what has been preached, how can some of you be saying that there is no resurrection of the dead. If there is no resurrection of the dead, Christ himself cannot have been raised and if Christ has not been raised then our preaching is useless and your believing in it is useless; instead, we are shown up as witnesses who have committed perjury before God, because we swore in evidence before God that he had raised Christ to life. - 1Cor. 15:12-16 -

Although death is an enemy, apostle Paul....

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -

God bestows more consideration on the purity of intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves - Saint August...
