What do we mean by resurrection?

United Methodists affirm the Christian belief in the resurrection of the dead. Our doctrinal statements express this directly. 

We affirm the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. "Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again his body, with all things appertaining to the perfection of man's nature"    (Article III, Articles of Religion)

We affirm the resurrection of all people who have ever died. 

"We believe all men stand under the righteous judgment of Jesus Christ, both now and in the last day. We believe in the resurrection of the dead; the righteous to life eternal and the wicked to endless condemnation" (Article XII, Confession of Faith).
