📖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 (Romans 8:11)
═══════════════
Through the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, God accomplished something extraordinary. He made it possible for us to receive the Holy Spirit. In John 16:7, He said, “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”

Then, on the day of Pentecost, He fulfilled His Word; the Holy Spirit came (Acts 2:1-4). Galatians 3:13-14 also tells us, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law... That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” 

Notice the purpose and climax of His redemptive work: that we might receive the promise of the Spirit. The ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives is far greater than many have understood. He didn’t come merely to help you carry out certain spiritual activities or occasionally empower you to do something for God. 

Consider the blood in the human body: the Bible says, “...the life of the flesh is in the blood...” (Leviticus 17:11). Human life is sustained by blood. But when you’re born again, the Holy Spirit takes up His abode in you and becomes the life of your physical body. It helps you understand what the Lord Jesus meant when He said, “… if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them…” (Mark 16:18). 

You now live by a higher principle of life. As a result of the Holy Spirit living in you, you’re uninfectable. Romans 8:10-11 (ESV) further unveils this truth beautifully. It says, “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.”  

Your body is no longer helplessly subject to sickness, disease, and corruption. The Spirit of God in you means divine life at work in your entire being. You must believe and consciously appropriate this reality in your life and walk in its blessing. You’re born of God’s Spirit and infused with His life. The Holy Spirit in you is the divine essence at work in your spirit, soul, and body. He’s the eternal elixir, the eternal source of life, vitality, and incorruptibility. Glory to God!

John 7:38-39 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

John 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
