Question in Baptist Catechism: WHAT BENEFITS DO BELIEVERS RECEIVE FROM CHRIST AT THE RESURRECTION?
Answer: At the resurrection, believers are raised up in glory; they shall be openly acknowledged and acquitted
in the Day of Judgment, and made perfectly blessed in the full enjoyment of God to all eternity.
Scriptures:
Philippians 3:20, 21 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
1 Corinthians 15:42-44 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
