From the scriptures, we can see that we will have a body or covering of some kind. It will be suitable for that environment just as our bodies are best for this environment. The covering has specific enough features that we can identify each other.

     This conclusion comes from what Jesus told us in the scriptures. Take a look in your Bible at Luke 16:19-31. It is what Jesus told us about two men, one in Heaven and one in Hell.

     We see in these scriptures that individual features were identifiable such as finger, eyes, and tongue. We also see that the individuals in the account had names and spoke to one another.

     Now, Paul brought out an interesting point in scriptures. He said that we could only know a portion of Jesus Christ for now, but in Heaven, we would know all about Him as He now knows us. "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (1 Corinthians 13:12) This point or ability goes far beyond just sight with the eyes. We will know all that Jesus Christ knows, and this means everyone of us. Since we will know everyone inside and out, we should have no problem recognizing each other.

     Look at this description of Jesus Christ. "And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." (Revelation 1:12-16)

     The above description of Christ does not match what He looked like while He walked on this world. There is obviously a difference in worldly bodies and glorified bodies, yet they are still recognizable. John summed up the question of bodies in the scriptures when he wrote this. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear , we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3:2)
