What will the same power that raised Christ do for believers?
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will quicken, or make alive, believers' mortal bodies. Because that Spirit dwells in them, He will raise them from the fallen position Adam brought humanity into, giving life through righteousness that never ends.
Les teaches from Romans 8:11 that if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in a believer, then the same power that raised Christ will also quicken or make alive the believer's mortal body by that indwelling Spirit. He explains this means God will raise believers from the position that Adam made us fall into. Les also points out the Trinity here: God the Father used the power of the Holy Spirit to raise the Son, and Paul uses all three persons of the Trinity, of which believers also become a part. He further notes that the Holy Spirit is life, referring to eternal life that never ends because of righteousness, and he cross-references Ephesians chapter 2 as using 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.
