The Bible affirms the resurrection, teaching that those who are worthy will neither marry nor die, being equal unto the angels as children of God.
The Bible, particularly in Luke 20:35-36, teaches that those who are counted worthy to attain the resurrection and eternal life do not marry or are given in marriage, for they are like angels and are children of God. This signifies a transformation into a state where death has no power over them, and they live eternally in the presence of God. Jesus uses the example of Moses, demonstrating that God is the God of the living, providing a clear message that the resurrection is foundational to faith in Him.
