And If The Spirit Of Him Who Raised Jesus From The DeadIs Living In You, He Who Raised Christ From The Dead Will Also Give Life To Your Mortal Bodies
The Rapture!
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

Romans 8:11 tells us that the same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives inside believers and gives life and power to their physical, mortal bodies.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
Romans 8:12-17 NKJV
That is to say, the same power that brought Jesus back from death works in every Spirit filled believer.
The words life and mortal bodies is talking of physical and spiritual renewal and the promise of a future bodily resurrection.
The Word teaches us that the indwelling Holy Spirit gives daily strength to overcome sin and weakness in our physical lives right now and guarantees eternal salvation. God by His Spirit promises all those who died in Christ will also rise from physical death when Christ returns, just as Jesus did (Ephesians 1:13-14).
“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
I Thessalonians 4:13-18 NKJV
These things shall come to past as is written:
““Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Matthew 24:29-31 NKJV
Those living in Christ will be taken up to meet Jesus in the clouds, but by no means before the dead in Christ.
“We who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (the dead in Christ) in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17), and by no means before the dead in Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:15) in a pre-tribulation rapture, for this is the first resurrection (Revelation 20:5) of Gods people, “But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished” (Millennium reign).
Revelation 20:5 NKJV
All glory be to God forever and ever! Amen.
