The Bible teaches that our eternal future will not be as disembodied spirits floating in some ethereal heaven, but as fully physical human beings with resurrected bodies, living on a renewed, physical New Earth. Jesus Himself, after His resurrection, had a real, tangible body—He walked with His disciples on the road to Emmaus, spoke with them behind locked doors, invited Thomas to touch His wounds, and even ate broiled fish and honeycomb in their presence.
