Luke 20:36

36 For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

Luke 20:36 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:36

Neither can they die any more
Therefore there will be no need of marrying to procreate children, to keep up a succession of men, any more than there is among the angels: for they are equal unto the angels;
in spirituality, purity and immortality; (See Gill on Matthew 22:30) and are the children of God:
as they are now by adopting grace; but, as yet, it does not appear as it will then, what they are and will be: being the children of the resurrection;
as Christ was declared to be the son of God by his resurrection, so will they appear to be the children of God by their resurrection to eternal life; for though others will rise, yet not to everlasting life, and thus appearing to be children of God, they will also be heirs of God, and enjoy the inheritance, which they will always live to possess in their persons; and therefore the case being different with them from the children of the world, they will not marry, nor be given in marriage, as they are.

Luke 20:36 In-Context

34 "The men of this age," replied Jesus, "marry, and the women are given in marriage.

35 But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage.

36 For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.

37 But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord `The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'

38 He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."
