“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, is not a distant or abstract concept, but an active and living presence within us. As believers, we are privileged to have the same Spirit that resurrected Christ dwelling within our mortal bodies. This truth speaks not only of the strength and might of God but also of His unlimited love towards us. Just as God demonstrated His power by raising Jesus from the dead, He extends that same life-giving power to us through the indwelling of His Spirit. In the face of trials and tribulations, we can find comfort in knowing that the Spirit of God resides within us. It is through this Spirit that we receive comfort, hope, and the assurance of resurrection life. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead has the power to rejuvenate, revive, and restore every area of our lives. When we are overwhelmed by despair, the Holy Spirit whispers words of encouragement and reminds us of God's faithfulness. When we are burdened with worry or anxiety, the Spirit brings a deep peace that surpasses all understanding. When we are weakened by sickness or pain, the Spirit imparts strength and healing. When we feel lost or directionless, the Spirit lights our path and provides wisdom and guidance. We should seek to be continually filled with His presence, allowing Him to influence every aspect of our lives.
Sunday marked the third anniversary of my mother's passing. I miss her so much, but not without hope. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, dwelled in her and dwells in me. We will see each other again. We have this hope in earthen vessels, knowing that the One who bought us did not leave us here to muddle through life on our own. He calls us to a higher walk of life, not one dictated by our wayward flesh or even regulated by laws. His Spirit lives within us, guiding and transforming us from within. Don't let fear of your mortality limit your life. Let the Holy Spirit fill you with His boldness and resurrection power to live for Christ Jesus.
