The resurrection of believers is the raising up of their bodies in a ____ and ____ manner.

• A. Metaphorical And Spiritual
• B. Literal And Physical
• C. Symbolic And Mental
• D. Visible And Transitory

Answer: (B)

The concept here is bodily resurrection—the belief that believers will have their bodies raised in a real, tangible way. The phrase “raising up their bodies” points to an actual physical restoration, not just a spiritual or symbolic idea. Scriptures describe the resurrection as something the body participates in, though transformed and made imperishable, which aligns with a literal and physical manner. The other descriptions would imply there is no real body to rise, or that the event is temporary, mental, or purely symbolic, which doesn’t fit the straightforward language of raising the body. Therefore, the best fit is literal and physical.
