The resurrection of the dead is just that: the resurrection of the dead. It really has nothing to do with you or me at the moment as we are both alive. What we ought to be concerned with is the resurrection of the living, as this is what leads to salvation.
It is God's purpose, and not our own. As we are being saved, we are being healed, even unto the day our bodies are transformed into something humanly eternal. What God begins in our flesh now, you can be sure, God will finish in a remarkable way later; death is not required.
Chile, I am in this sweltering desert, but my roots are quenched by the Living Stream, and I am not worried about withering away.
---------------------
I don't think that God loves me any more than God loves anyone else, but God is able to display that trusting love in me and around me without the threat of me becoming prideful, or attaching to God all kinds of laws, rules, doctrines, sacrifices, and forms of worship.
God is able to love me without the concern that I'd exchange my humanity for the law of religion (and teach others to do the same).
If God were concerned, then I imagine I'd be confronted by awful situations, then receive bright-red warnings above, and if I still refused to be honest with myself (while teaching others to do the same), I'd get the swift kick of death just like everyone else in this place.
