Romans 8:11
11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

We have new life in the Spirit even in the midst of the presence of sin within our frail bodies, and yet this is not how it will always be. When Christ returns and the dead are raised, all of sin's effects will be finally reversed and we will be with the Lord. Then we receive our inheritance -- a new body and a new home in God's presence, an unshakeable kingdom and a glorious, powerful bodily life (see 1 Corinthians 15). This is the hope of the Christian and a crucial part of the Gospel that we cannot neglect to proclaim. In the midst of death's reign, there is no real hope apart from resurrection -- simply making life better for people now does not answer humanity's deepest problem. And yet we have hope that we will be raised just as Christ was raised on the third day, by the power of the Holy Spirit within us who also raised our Lord. This is our hope and the greatest encouragement to run the race well and receive the crown of glory that awaits the faithful (Heb. 2:9,14-15).
