Chapter 2

In The Resurrection

As already quoted, Jesus said that those who believe pass from death unto life. This, of course, is upon the basis of faith. From God’s standpoint these are no longer under condemnation. It is these whom Jesus refers to in John 5:29, where he says that those who have done good shall “come forth . . . to the resurrection of life.” Their judgment time is past, and in the resurrection they are rewarded with the “glory and honour and immortality” which they diligently sought “by patient continuance in well-doing.”—Rom 2:7
