The resurrection of the body in the next life was considered abnormal to Greek culture. They saw that once death comes over, the body is left behind while the soul exists eternally. The Bible teaches that we'll be given new bodies that far exceed our current ones.
(17) Therefore , if anyone is in Christ the new creation has come. The old is gone, the new is here!
When we accept Christ we are spiritually brand new people, we have salvation. This gives us a new way of looking at people, our decisions and the world.
(20) we are therefore Christ's ambassadors as though God were making his appeal through us. we implore you on Christ's behalf. Be reconciled with God.
As ambassadors of Christ we must not take our responsibility lightly, as the eternal fate of others could depend on how we act or think.
