And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you. —Romans 8:11.
In Romans 8, Paul reminds us repeatedly of the blessings of the Holy Spirit living within us. He’s there to remind us that we are God’s children. The Spirit in us is our guarantee that we will be raised from the dead! Because the Spirit that gave Jesus life and raised him from the dead lives in us, we can have confidence in our resurrection. Mortality will not claim us. The Holy Spirit’s life-giving power is stronger than death. We have life in our mortal body so that we can live into our future immortal body! Even though our bodies may die, the Spirit of God animates, inspires, and empowers us in this body to our ultimate victory.
