Romans 8:9-11 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who 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 life because of righteousness. 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.
Who is this that indwells followers of Christ? He is the Spirit of Life. He is the very one who raised Christ from the dead. Paul's point is that if He can do that... He can breath new life into us - that just as Jesus laid our sins down for us and came back to life, through the Spirit we can lay those sins down and life the life that pleases God. It's not us; we cannot do it without Him, but we can live life in the Spirit. Let's get in tune.
