Guest shiloh357 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's because salvation occurs in stages. Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law (spiritual death), but the curse of the fall (physical death) has not yet been removed. We won't experience that until we receive our glorified bodies. The reason we die physically is because our sin nature was passed down to us from Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
