What does Romans 8:11 say God will do for your mortal body?
Romans 8:11 states that if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also quicken, or make alive, your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you. This is the same power that raised Christ applied to believers.
Les explains that Romans 8:11 implies the Trinity: God the Father used the power of the Holy Spirit to raise the Son. Paul uses all three persons of the Trinity, of which believers also become a part. Les says that if the Holy Spirit of the God and Father raised up Jesus from the dead and dwells in you, then that same power that raised Christ from the dead is going to raise us from the position Adam made us fall into. The verse promises that He who raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken or make alive your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. Les then points to Ephesians chapter 2 as almost the same identical language.
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.
