How does Romans 8:11 show the Trinity at work in the resurrection of Jesus?
Romans 8:11 shows the Trinity because God the Father used the power of the Holy Spirit to raise up Jesus from the dead. Paul presents all three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—at work, and the same Spirit who raised Christ will also make alive believers' mortal bodies.
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, and believers also become part of that. If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then that same power that raised Christ from the dead will raise us from the position Adam made us fall into, and He will quicken or make alive our mortal bodies by His Spirit dwelling in us. Les also notes this cross-references Ephesians 2, where Paul uses almost 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.
