Deep dives
Marriage in the Age to Come
In this episode, the question is raised about the nature of marriage in the age to come. The New Testament does not provide explicit details about this, but Jesus emphasizes the resurrection and the absence of death in the new age. Therefore, ordinary marriage, which involves procreation, may not be necessary in the age to come. However, Paul assures believers that they will be together with their loved ones in God's new age, and there will be recognition and mutual welcome. While the specific details are not known, it is believed that in the age to come, we will be more vividly ourselves than ever before.
