Through His Spirit - Romans 8:10-11

Romans 8:10-11 ESV 


But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.


The resurrection of Christ will be replicated in each believer. Christ has entered the earth of everyone who believes through the giving of the Holy Spirit. Our resurrection has begun because our spirits are awakened by the life of God. 


These mortal bodies are filled with the light of life and our spirits have been resurrected into the life of Christ. The resurrection of our bodies will follow. 


When Christ returns, our life will be clothed in immortal bodies like His. We will rise from this earth to join the full radiance of His life. We will then return with Him as the New Jerusalem to be the city on the hill that gives light to the world.
