For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:52-55
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

No More Death
At the second coming of Christ, the Lord will restore the redeemed to favor with heaven and to his original state of perfection and freedom from all the consequences of sin. This will take place by the mighty power of the Creator working through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans. 7:25). For this victory over the power of the enemy, the saved will offer praise and glory to the Father throughout eternity (Revelation 5:11–13; 15:3, 4; 19:5, 6).
