How does spiritual resurrection relate to physical resurrection?

Spiritual resurrection precedes physical resurrection, highlighting the necessity of being born again to have a part in the resurrection to come. According to John 3:3, Jesus stated, 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' This rebirth is a work of the Holy Spirit, bringing the dead hearts of sinners to life (Ephesians 2:1). Without this spiritual awakening, one cannot experience the assurance of future glory in the physical resurrection of the body that is promised in 1 Corinthians 15:52. Therefore, spiritual resurrection is foundational, ensuring that believers are not only spiritually alive but are in the full expectation of being glorified with Christ at His return.
