Resurrection vindication
The final bodily resurrection of the saints vindicates them before the on-looking world in that it is an ‘enfleshing’ or ‘incarnation’ of their prior spiritual identification with Christ’s vindicating resurrection, which was not seen or recognized by the ungodly powers. That is, spiritual resurrection that was invisible but to the eyes of faith (2 Cor. 4:6–11, 16–18) will become visible to all eyes in the consummated form of physical resurrection (2 Cor. 4:14; 5:1–5), which is foundational to a person’s being judged favorably by Christ at the end.
