Even if we die before that event takes place, before the Rapture, we will still obtain our new bodies, those sin-free bodies, at the Rapture. That’s the way it works. Let’s consider that passage, the one Paul said to the Thessalonians. 1 Thessalonians 4, starting in verse 15: “For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words” (ESV). Therefore, here Paul gives us a complete summary of what is going to happen, and how the process of which Paul is discussing with the Colossian believers is going to be completed.
