在罗马书中 8:11, 保罗写道, 但叫耶稣从死里复活者的灵若住在你们心里, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you. 保罗这句话的意思是什么？? 借着他的灵使你必死的身体苏醒是什么意思?
Because of Adam’s deed of disobedience, man became a mortal body
When Adam, 上帝的儿子, became disobedient to God and sinned, death entered and the spirit in man died. The life of God left man and man came under the authority of death and became a mortal body.
但耶稣基督, 神的儿子, 来到地球, to redeem mankind from the power of sin and death and to restore the state of fallen man and the peace between God and fallen man (另请阅读: 耶稣恢复了堕落人类的地位 和 和平, 耶稣在堕落的人和神之间恢复了).
Jesus became the Substitute for fallen man and carried the sins and the death penalty for sin and entered Hades, where Jesus conquered death. 因为三天后, Jesus Christ rose from the dead as Victor with the keys of hell and death.
通过耶稣’ redemptive work and His blood, Jesus restored the state of fallen man and made everyone, who would believe in Him and be born again in Him, 所有的.
The mortal body quickened by His Spirit during life on earth
他已使你苏醒, 那些死在过犯罪恶之中的人; 在过去的时光里，你们按照这个世界的轨迹行走, 根据空中力量王子的说法, 现在在悖逆之子心中运作的精神: 我们从前也都在他们中间谈论肉体的私欲, 满足肉体和心灵的欲望; 生来就是可怒之子, 即使和其他人一样. 但是上帝, 谁富有慈悲, 因为他爱我们的伟大之爱, 即使我们死在罪孽中, 使我们与基督一同苏醒, (你们得救是靠着恩典;) 并把我们一起抚养长大, 使我们在基督耶稣里一同坐在天上: 愿他将极丰富的恩典，就是他在基督耶稣里向我们所施的恩慈，显明给后来的世代看。(以弗所书 2:1-7)
Jesus Christ gave back that life, which was taken from man through Adam’s disobedience, when the Holy Spirit came and the spirit of man was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit and the mortal body became a living body.
The mortal body became a living body through faith and regeneration in Jesus Christ and belonged to the Living Body of the Kingdom of Heaven; 教会, whereof Jesus Christ is the Head and is seated in the heavenly places in Him far above every principality, 力量, 可能, dominion and every name that is named.
The born again man was translated from the kingdom of darkness; the domain of death to the Kingdom of God; the domain of life and was no longer a living soul but a living spirit (歌罗西书 1:13-14).
The spiritual man (新人) would not live under the dominion of death and be led by the flesh and death, which reigns in the sinful nature of the flesh and do the works of the flesh.
But because the mortal body was quickened from the dead by the Holy Spirit and became alive to God, the spiritual man would possess the life of God and live under the authority of God and do the works of the Spirit.
The mortal body vs the quickened body
因为正如父使死人复活一样, 并加速他们; 照样，子也照样使他所意欲的人复活 (约翰 5:21)
The mortal body (那个老人) is born from the dust of the earth from the seed of man and belongs to the earth and the ruler of the earth and the air and after life on earth, the mortal body shall return to the earth – 死亡王国 (地狱, 哈迪斯), which is under the earth
The quickened body, who is made alive in Jesus Christ (新人) is born from heaven from the Seed of God and belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven and after life on earth, the quickened body will return to Heaven, which is above the earth
As long as a person remains the old man, the person shall belong to the ruler of the world and shall walk after the flesh like the world and live separated from God as an enemy of God. Because of that the person lives under the judgment of God and feels condemned in the soul.
The new man is reconciled with God through the atonement of Jesus Christ and His blood and regeneration in Him; 肉的死亡和死者的圣灵复活.
The enmity between man and God has been removed in Christ. The new man doesn’t live separated from God like the world as an enemy of God, but lives in communion with God in obedience to His will. The new man is born of God and belongs to God and has His nature and does what pleases Him.
The mortal body quickened by His Spirit after life on earth
但若叫耶稣从死里复活者的灵住在你们心里, 那叫基督从死里复活的，也必借着住在你们心里的圣灵，使你们必死的身体又活过来。 (罗马书 8:11)
When the mortal body is quickened in Christ by the Holy Spirit during life on earth, then after life on earth, after physical death, the mortal body shall be quickened by His Spirit.
Because after life on earth, every person returns to the One or the one, (s)he belongs to and served; 生活 (耶稣基督) or the death (恶魔).
If you are born again in Christ and your spirit is raised from the dead and your mortal body has been quickened and become a living body in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit during your life on earth, 然后圣灵, who dwells in you, shall quicken your mortal body when you die. 你不会看到死亡, but you shall inherit eternal life.
