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.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t just empower us now (Ephesians 3:14-21) for sure, he does provide us power and strength, insight and guidance but the Holy Spirit’s work is not just powerful now, giving life to our “mortal bodies”. The Spirit is also our guarantee for our future (2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5) and our assurance that we will see God face to face (1 John 3:1-2) and share in his glory (Colossians 3:1-4). The Spirit is alive in us “as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies,” and promises us life that never will end in the presence of the Father, and with the Son, because of the Holy Spirit.
