Romans 8 Question

[jhwatts]

Romans 8:11 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.

This verse is interesting in that the "Spirit of him" is not the same as Jesus spirit. Any thoughts on this? Also, if Spirit of him (Not Jesus.) dwell in you will quicken your mortal body. Thoughts.

The Holy Spirit, which is the same Spirit power that Jesus used to do His miracles.

This is His Holy Spirit. He makes His Home in us. This is the Born Again experience of regeneration. There is only one Spirit. Blessings.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead

The Spirit of God raised Jesus from the dead (Ac 2:24, Ac 2:32, Ac 13:30-34, Ac 13:37, Ac 17:31, Ro 6:4, Ro 8:11, Ro 10:9, etc., etc., etc.).

dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit

The Spirit of God dwells within us and will likewise raise our bodies from the dead.

This verse is interesting in that the "Spirit of him" is not the same as Jesus spirit.

The text does not state it is not the same Spirit, the text states only that it is the Spirit of God.

Any thoughts on this? Also, if Spirit of him (Not Jesus.) dwell in you will quicken your mortal body. Thoughts.

The Spirit of God is the Spirit of Christ; i.e., the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father and the Spirit of the Son. There are three Divine Persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

If by "Jesus' spirit" you are referring to His human soul, then that's correct, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus' human soul. Jesus' soul, like His body, is part of His humanity; along with His human will. As He is fully human and like us in all ways but without sin.

But Jesus, as the Eternal Son of the Father, is truly God, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Him even as the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father. This is because the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, though distinct Divine Persons, are one-and-same in Being. One God, Three Persons, Holy Trinity.

So what Paul is saying here is that it will be the Holy Spirit that quickens our bodies in the resurrection. I believe, and have frequently argued, that this is why Paul, in 1 Corinthians 15, calls the future resurrected body a "Spiritual body" (Greek: soma pneumatikon), because in contrast to our present kind of life in the body which is ruled by soulishness (Paul calls the present body a "soulish body" or soma psuchekon in Greek), when we are raised up bodily from the dead in the future our bodies will be transformed with a new kind of life, a life that is from the Holy Spirit.

The answer to your question of Who that "him" is, is shown in that same verse with, "He that raised up Christ from the dead". That's about The Father.

It's also important to have understood 1 Corinthians 15 about the resurrection type body, because that is what Paul is referring to there with our "mortal bodies" being quickened by His Spirit that dwells inside our flesh body. Our flesh is not quickened because it is temporary and of this present world. It is our spirit that is inside our flesh bodies that is quickened, and is eternal for those in Christ Jesus.

Well, we must understand that only Jesus as God was born in the flesh to die on the cross, and The Father is Who raised Jesus. Even though the Spirit in Jesus was still God The Son, the raising of Jesus' flesh body was the subject. Thus you cannot think that way about Jesus' Spirit, because it is not what was raised.
