‘But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit which dwells in you.'

The Triune God is now seen as in action. ‘Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead' (the Father) is now introduced, and is also seen as indwelling us. Involved in our salvation are Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And we learn that having raised Jesus from the dead by His mighty power (Efesios 1:19 ff), we can be sure that He will also raise us from the dead (Efesios 2:1 ff), giving life to our mortal bodies. The assurance is of physical resurrection. And it will be accomplished through His Spirit Who dwells in us. Then will ‘the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus' have finally set us free from the law of sin and death (Romanos 8:2).
