“Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.”
Romans 8: 9-11
It is Christ who lives in you through his indwelling Spirit. This is the power of God that gives each one life in this world and everlasting. As Jesus demonstrates in raising his beloved friend Lazarus from the dead in the Gospel of John for this Sunday, it is He that promises that same promise to you if you place your life in Him.
