“But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:38‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Thank God He is a God of order! How confusing would it be if every time we plant a seed it would sprout into another kind of plant but then it yielded a different kind of seed. So if you planted a corn kernel and a pumpkin plant sprouted but then you picked an apple from it. That would be confusing we would never know what kind of fruit it would be until it was time for the harvest. But God has determined that a corn kernel would produce a corn stalk and that corn stalk would produce an ear of corn. 

The same way with the resurrection of the dead. God has determined what kind of body we will have in the resurrection. I think it will resemble our human bodies but it will be clothed with glory, power, and incorruption (verse 42-44). Right now it is clothed with corruption, weakness, and dishonor but through the power of God given by Jesus’ resurrection and delivered to us by the Holy Spirit, we are able to overcome the corrupted flesh and live for God in incorruption.

“Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.”
