The Integrity of the Risen Body

The human body will rise complete and perfect with all its members. In the elect, the perfected soul will animate its body and cause that body to be perfect.

Even in such things as belong to the body more as ornaments than necessary members, such as hair and nails, the risen body will be perfectly complete.

Man’s risen body will lack nothing that belongs tothe integrity (that is, the complete and rounded perfection) ofhuman nature. The risen body will need none of the processes that merely preserve it, or make it grow, or propagate. But the body will have all that makes it enduring, mature, and perfect.

The risen body will have all that belongs to true human bodily nature; it will have all this in the most perfect and suitable mode and degree.

As noted heretofore, the actual material particles which flow through and in the human body during its term of earthlyexistence will not all be found in the risen body.
