Should Christians Donate Organs? Organ donation is one of the most pressing moral questions for modern believers. Some Christians hesitate, fearing that altering the body after death might dishonor God or interfere with resurrection. Yet Scripture itself provides an unexpected example: Jacob and Joseph were embalmed in Egypt, their bodies treated in ways far more invasive than modern organ donation. And yet, Jesus later affirmed that they are alive to God.

The modern debate over cremation versus burial is one of practicality, theology, and perception. While the Bible does not contain a specific command forbidding cremation, it does establish a consistent pattern of honoring the dead through burial. When viewed through a biblical lens, this issue invites thoughtful consideration of not only what is permissible, but what is theologically symbolic and Christ-honoring.
