The Spirit Who Raises Jesus
Silence and stillness before God (2 minutes)
Scripture reading
Scripture reading:
Romans 8:11
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
Devotional
Paul brings us to one of the most breathtaking promises in Scripture. The very Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. The resurrection power of God is not just a historical fact but a present reality, dwelling in your life.
This means the future of your mortal body is secure. Just as God raised Christ, so too He will raise you. Resurrection is not an abstract hope but a guaranteed inheritance because the Spirit lives in you. Death is no longer the end but the doorway to everlasting life.
This truth also transforms our present. The Spirit’s resurrection power is already at work, strengthening us to resist sin, endure trials, and live for Christ. The same Spirit who rolled away the stone empowers you to walk in newness of life now, while you wait for the fullness of resurrection.
To know that the Spirit who raised Jesus lives in us should fill us with both courage and joy. We walk through life not in fear of death but in confidence of resurrection.
Question to consider
How does knowing that the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you change the way you approach both life and death?
Prayer
Resurrecting God, thank you that the same Spirit who raised Jesus dwells in me. Fill me with resurrection hope and power today, that I may live with courage and joy.
