Resurrection of the Righteous

Resurrection of the Righteous
The English word resurrection comes from the Greek word anastasia (that’s right, the female name Anastasia means resurrection), and it could more correctly be translated as, ‘stand again.’ And notice that at Luke 14:14, Jesus spoke of ‘the resurrection of the righteous.’ What was he referring to here?

Well, it appears as though Paul spoke of the same thing at Acts 24:15, where he wrote:
‘I have this hope in God … that there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.’

And at John 5:28, 29, it’s recorded that Jesus said:
‘Now, don’t be surprised at this, because the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out… those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced what is foul to a resurrection of judgment.’

So from the above scriptures, it appears as though there is a hope of a resurrection for all except those whom the Bible refers to as having been condemned to ‘the garbage dump’ or ‘the lake of fire’ (for more information, refer to the linked document, ‘The Resurrection’).
