ROMANS 8:11

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 because of his Spirit who lives in you.

TO PONDER

When the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us, then He most certainly is going to give life to our mortal bodies. God promises clearly that if His Spirit has taken up residence in our heart, then, even though our body dies, He will raise it from the dead like He did to the body of Jesus. The Spirit gives life, gives energy, like a wind that carries us along. The Spirit brings refreshment, like a new breath within us. We are motivated, dynamic, and filled with enthusiasm only by the Holy Spirit of Christ, not by our own striving or achievements.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, may your life-giving Spirit, fill me with the abundant life of freedom in your Son Christ Jesus. Amen.
