Is cremation wrong? Well, we obviously can't point to a verse in the Bible that states,
thou shall not cremate. But what we do have is examples of believers burying their dead.
And the reason for that is because of its symbolic nature. You see, when a believer dies,
the Bible teaches that that person will one day resurrect in the last days. So when a believer
dies and is buried, it's likened unto a seed that is sown into the ground. The sower anticipates
that the seed will germinate and come out of the ground something completely different. Therefore,
when a Christian buries their saved loved ones, it's an expression of their belief in the
resurrection, knowing that they're going to see them again one day. 1 Corinthians 15 42 says,
so also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption. It is raised in
incorruption. Verse 44 says, it is sown in natural body. It has raised a spiritual body.
Cremation obviously doesn't affect salvation, nor does it affect the quality of your resurrection.
Take into account that Christians have been dead for thousands of years, their bodies decomposed
beyond recognition. The power of God obviously transcends the power of death to decay.
