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

Jesus Christ, Our Living Hope

ROMANS 8:11

“But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We committed believers in Christ receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (ACTS 2:37-38). He is God's promise of eternal life for all who believe in Him (2 CORINTHIANS 1:22; EPHESIANS 1:14).

For, He who raised Christ from the dead, will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”

‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Spirit lives in us now by faith, and by faith we are certain to live with Christ forever. (See ROMANS 8:23; 1 CORINTHIANS 6:14; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:14; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:14).

He will not leave us behind on the day of rapture, He will not leave us orphans (see MATHEW 24: 36-44).

The Spirit is our guarantee from God that He will give us the inheritance He promised, and that He purchased us to be His own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify Him (EPHESIANS 1:14).

The Holy Spirit starts to a good work within us when we submit to His will, changing even the way we think, transforming us by renewing our minds that we become more Christ like and come to understand what is that good , and acceptable, and the perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).

Furthermore, having received the holy Spirit, we shall produce good fruits in our lives (GALATIANS 5:26-26), for God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).

We Spirit filled believers really can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).

Whatever trials or challenges you face, their is a great future for you.

No sin is too great for God to forgive; no addiction is to powerful for Jesus to remove; no situation is either too big or too small for Jesus to fix; nor can any sickness snatch you from Jesus hands, for you are healed by His stripes (Isaiah 53:1-5).

All these things of today’s world are temporary; therefore, focus on God's ultimate promise. For it is written, “He will live among His people. God Himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever (REVELATION 21:3-4).”

Now that's a promise! And that's a future!

All you need to do is to believe and receive, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day Christ Jesus returns (PHILIPPIANS 1:6).

My beloved, Jesus made a way where there was no way. He is the risen Christ, our confident hope.

But without Him there is no hope, for He is “the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (JOHN 14:6).

There is no other way to our Father in heaven, for it was Christ alone who was the sacrifice that justifies life everlasting.

“Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.”

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭12‬-‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
