Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

The phrase “ashes to ashes and dust to dust” is frequently used during funerals. This saying comes from Ecclesiastes 3:20 or possibly Genesis 3:19 “By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” We are made of the dust of the earth and that is what we turn back into after we die. But this is talking about the body and not the soul. The spirit or soul of man will live one beyond the grave but not so with the body. For those who have died, they will be joined back up with their bodies at the resurrection of the dead and they will either be with the Lord or in eternal torment.
