The transformation of believers is the ____.

• A. First Resurrection
• B. Second Death
• C. Glorification
• D. Rapture

Answer: (A)

The moment believers are transformed into immortal, glorious bodies happens at Christ’s return—the First Resurrection. At that time the dead in Christ are raised, and those who are alive are instantaneously changed to be like Him. This event marks the believers’ release from mortality and places them in their eternal state, which is why it’s described as the First Resurrection. The Second Death refers to the final judgment that comes after the millennium and has no power over those who participate in this resurrection. Glorification is the ongoing process of becoming like Christ that follows or accompanies this transformation, while Rapture describes the gathering of believers to meet the Lord; the defining moment tied to transformation in this context is the First Resurrection.
