In the resurrection, the nature of human relationships will change profoundly. Earthly institutions such as marriage, which are vital for companionship and family life here, will not be necessary in the same way in the afterlife. Jesus explains that people will be like angels, suggesting a spiritual existence where earthly ties are transformed. This doesn't mean relationships are lost but rather elevated to a new level of spiritual unity and fulfillment in God's presence. This teaching invites believers to focus on the eternal perspective, understanding that the life to come is not bound by earthly limitations but is a place of perfect harmony and divine love. It reassures us that while earthly relationships are important, they are a shadow of the deeper, more complete relationships we will experience in the presence of God.
At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
