If The Spirit Of Him Raised Jesus From The Dead Is Living In You, He Who Raised Christ From The Dead Will Also Give Life To Your Mortal Bodies Because Of His Spirit Who Lives In You

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).
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 in our nature and come to understand what is that perfect, and acceptable, and the perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2). 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), not in our own strength or authority, but by the power and authority of Jesus Christ. Even the demons are subject to God’s Spirit filled people (LUKE 10:17) along with every curse and every sickness in Jesus name. For ”He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
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 great 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-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; "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 submit, “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).
But God does not take away one’s free will; therefore having received the gift of the Spirit, one must choose to remain obedient by crucifying the lust of the flesh and a battle begins within.
”I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.“
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
