the Holy Spirit within us is God's promise that we
will be raised up and given new life in a resurrection body when
Christ returns

“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus
from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also
give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.” — Romans 8:11 ESV
The Holy Spirit brings life to our mortal bodies by
bringing Jesus alive in us despite the fact that we live in mortal bodies
of decay.
We display the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians
5:22-23) as we are conformed to Christ (2 Corinthians
3:18).
Furthermore, the Holy Spirit within us is God's promise
that we will be raised up and given new life in a resurrection body when
Christ returns (1 Thessalonians
4:13-18; 2 Corinthians
5:1-5).
The power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in
us through the Holy Spirit (Ephesians
1:17-20).
Today's
Prayer
Father in heaven, I know that you are
glorious and that I am mortal. I know that you are eternal and that my current
physical body is subject to decay.
So I thank you for placing your Holy Spirit
within me so that I can live for you while in this physical body of decay.
I thank you for placing your Holy Spirit
within me so I can have the assurance that I will be given a glorious body to share
in glory with you forever and with those who love you, Father.
I thank you for these gifts, in Jesus'
name.
Amen.
