Note 17 at 1 Cor. 15:49: This is a very comforting scripture that goes a long way towards answering the question of "how can this happen?" (see note 1 at 1 Cor. 15:35, p. 962). No one had to understand anything to be born and have a natural body. It just happened by birth. Likewise, through the new birth (see note 2 at Jn. 3:3, p. 92) all true believers will inherit this glorified body. We don't have to understand it. It will happen just as surely as our natural body came into being.

And in the same way as we could not escape from this natural body, so we will be inseparably tied to our spiritual body.
