Life in the Spirit
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Rom 8:11
shall also quicken... Greek: zoopoieo. Make alive (1Cor. 15:22); give life (2Cor. 3:6; Gal. 3:21); and quicken (John 5:21; 6:63; Rom. 4:17; 8:11; 1Cor. 15:36, 15:45; 1Tim. 6:13; 1Pet. 3:18).
As
a believer, the same Spirit dwells in you. God’s Holy Spirit raised
Christ from the dead and it is the same Spirit who will quicken the
believers, and shall also resurrect us too.
Then Paul wrote about an even better promise (Rom. 8:11). Since God raised Jesus from the dead (lit., “out from dead ones”; cf. Rom. 4:24; 6:4), God promises believers in whom His Spirit… is living (cf. Rom. 8:9) that He will also give life to their mortal bodies through His Spirit. In other words, God promises spiritual resurrection life now (Rom. 6:4, 6:8, 6:11) for each believer’s mortal body and physical resurrection in the future for that mortal body (Rom. 6:5; 1Cor. 6:14; 15:42, 15:53; 2Co. 4:14).
