So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. (9) But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. (10) And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (11) But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwellls in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

THe letter to the Romans was written by the apostle Paul. One of the reasons for writing chapter 8 was to give assurance to those of us who believe in Jesus Christ for time and eternity. Chapter 8, verse 1: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. “. If Christ be in you the body is dead because of of sin but the spirit lives because of righteousness.

Chapter eight Roman culminates in truth containing the sanctification of the saint offering eternal security of the believer which depends on the Son’s life and the Spirit’s power which rests on the Father’s love and the indwelling Spirit. The great mark of the Christian is that the Spirit of God. dwells in him/her and enters the persons life at the moment of conversion. Paul clearly indicates that a person without the Spirit does NOT belong to Christ. The same Spirit is indwelling meaning God is indwelling. The Holy Spirit who raised Jesus will also raise believers.
