How is the Trinity implied in Romans 8:11?
Romans 8:11 implies the Trinity by naming three distinct persons: God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead; the Holy Spirit, who is the power of that resurrection; and the Son, Jesus, who was raised. Paul shows the Father using the Spirit to raise the Son, and believers share in that same Spirit.
Les teaches that Romans 8:11 clearly implies the Trinity. God the Father used the power of the Holy Spirit to raise the Son from the dead. Paul uses all three persons of the Trinity, and believers also become part of that. If the Holy Spirit of the Father who raised Jesus dwells in you, then the same power that raised Christ will quicken your mortal bodies. Les cross-references Ephesians 2 for similar language, urging study with more than one verse.
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.
