One thing we all know is that we are going to die, unless Jesus Christ returns first. There is no escaping it: “It is appointed for people to die once" (Heb 9:27). Almost everyone has an appointment with death. We will each be on time for those, and we will not be able to avoid them. We don't know where, when, or how our deaths will come, but we will keep our appointments. Yet from time immemorial, humanity has thought not only about the certainty of death but also the possibility of life after death. Four thousand years ago, an ancient thinker named Job asked the question, "When a person dies, will he come back to life?" (Job 14:14). God has planted within every person a desire for a resurrection—an eternal existence. In the remaining part of this chapter, Paul deals with that hope, but he doesn't just speak about the hope of the resurrection but also about the fact of the resurrection. Continuing his argument, he moves from the resurrection of the Savior to the saint, holding to the thesis that the former guarantees the latter.
