IF A MAN DIES HOW SHALL HE LIVE AGAIN?

AND WHAT SHALL HE BE LIKE?

TEXT OF ADDRESS BY V.T. HOUTEFF,

MINISTER OF D. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS

SABBATH, MARCH 20, 1948

MT. CARMEL CHAPEL

WACO, TEXAS

“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thess. 4:14-18.

Here we see that those who come up in the first resurrection shall not only live again, but shall die no more.

Now to find our answer to the question, What shall man be like if he lives again? We shall first turn to the book of Genesis:

Gen. 2:7 – “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
