In Romans 8 God led the apostle Paul to mention that the Holy Spirit had a part in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. In this connection this part of God's word also states that the same Holy Spirit that raised the Lord Jesus from the dead can and will also make alive our mortal bodies if the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts from trusting the Lord Jesus that he died for our sins and rose again to give us new life. The scripture passage from Romans 8 of the role of the Holy Spirit in raising Jesus from the dead as being the same person that can make alive our bodies if he spiritually dwells in our hearts is as follows:
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.
It was a foremost act of God the Father's power and greatness to raise the Lord Jesus His only begotten Son from the dead. God the Father then honoured the Lord Jesus for his work of salvation on the cross and resurrection by putting Him at the Father's own right hand in heavenly places or in heaven. This shows that the Father was also involved in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead as well as the Holy Spirit. The scripture reference from Ephesians 1 of the work of the heavenly Father to raise His Son Jesus Christ from the dead and set Him at His own right hand in Ephesians 1 is as follows:
Which he wrought (worked) in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Ephesians 1:20
