What does Christ's resurrection mean for us?

Christ triumphed over sin and death by being physically resurrected so that all who trust in him are raised to new life in this world and to everlasting life in the world to come. Just as we will one day be resurrected, so this world will one day be restored. But those who do not trust in Christ will be raised to everlasting death.  

1 TESALONAIKA 4:13-14

‘Oku ‘ikai te mau loto foki ke mou mūnoa, kāinga, ‘i he me‘a ki he kakai kuo mohe; ke ‘oua te mou mamahi ‘o hangē ko e kakai kehe, ‘a ia ‘oku ‘ikai ha‘anau ‘amanaki. He kapau leva ‘oku tau tui ne pekia ‘a Sīsū, pea toetu‘u, pehē foki ko e kakai na‘e fakamohe ko e me‘a ‘ia Sīsū, ‘e ‘omi kinautolu ‘e he ‘Otua fakataha mo ia.

1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-14

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

Commentary - MARTYN LLOYD-JONES

The whole creation will have been delivered from the bondage of corruption and will be of enjoying “the glorious liberty of the children God” (Rom. 8:21). Everything will be glorified, even nature itself. And that seems to me to be the biblical teaching about the eternal state: that what we call heaven is life in this perfect world as God intended humanity to live it. When He put Adam in Paradise at the beginning Adam fell, and all fell with him, but men and women are meant to live in the body, and will live in a glorified body in a glorified world, and God will be with them.
