The Church of God (Anderson) affirms that the human being consists of body and soul, with the soul being immortal and surviving physical death. At death, the soul enters a conscious state awaiting the final resurrection and judgment. The righteous enter into rest and peace in the presence of the Lord, while the unrighteous experience conscious separation and suffering.

The church affirms the bodily resurrection of all people at the return of Christ. This is not merely a spiritual resurrection but a genuine resurrection of the body, transformed and glorified for those who believe and judged for those who do not. The doctrine of the intermediate state and final resurrection are fundamental to the Church of God's eschatology and understanding of God's justice and redemptive purposes.
