Luke 20:36

36 Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

Luke 20:36 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:36

Neither can they die any more
Therefore there will be no need of marrying to procreate children, to keep up a succession of men, any more than there is among the angels: for they are equal unto the angels;
in spirituality, purity and immortality; (See Gill on Matthew 22:30) and are the children of God:
as they are now by adopting grace; but, as yet, it does not appear as it will then, what they are and will be: being the children of the resurrection;
as Christ was declared to be the son of God by his resurrection, so will they appear to be the children of God by their resurrection to eternal life; for though others will rise, yet not to everlasting life, and thus appearing to be children of God, they will also be heirs of God, and enjoy the inheritance, which they will always live to possess in their persons; and therefore the case being different with them from the children of the world, they will not marry, nor be given in marriage, as they are.

Luke 20:36 In-Context

34 Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage;
35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
36 Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive."
