Romans 8:11

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:5-17

The Contrast Between Flesh And Spirit Is Considered, Leading Up To The Assurance Of Life Through The Triune God And A Declaration Of Our Sonship And Heirship (8:5-17). Reference to ‘walking not after the flesh but after the Spirit’ now leads on to a deeper examination of what it means to be responsive to the Spirit in contrast with the flesh. It is the battle of Galatians 5:16 ff. continued, with the Spirit and flesh being in constant opposition. This contrast is prominent verse by verse in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 8:11

‘But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit which dwells in you.’ The Triune God is now seen as in action. ‘Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead’ (the Father) is now introduced, and is also seen as indwelling us. Involved in our salvation are Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And we learn that having raised Jesus from the dead by His mighty power (Ephesians 1:19... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 8:11

Him that raised up Jesus from the dead; a periphrasis of God the Father. The Son raised himself, John 2:19; John 10:18; and yet the Father is said here to raise him from the dead: see notes on Romans 1:4. Quicken your mortal bodies; raise them from a state of mortality, and all the attendants, to a glorious immortal life. By his Spirit that dwelleth in you: q.d. If you are sanctified by the Spirit, you shall be raised up by the Spirit also, as Christ was. The wicked also shall be raised at the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-11

Romans 8:1-11 In the verses before us three points are touched on regarding the gospel as God's power to sanctify. These are: (1) The preliminary work which had to be done by the coming of Christ, or the basis laid in the life and death of our Lord with a view to our being sanctified. Next, (2) wherein sanctification really consists; it is the substitution of God's Spirit as a source of moral influence in lieu of the congenital tendency or drift towards sin of our own nature. And (3) how this... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 8:11

Romans 8:11 The Beginning of the Redemption of the Body Here. I. The first point which it is needful to consider is the actual degeneracy of the body of man through his yielding it to the uses of sin. What might have been the condition of man's physical frame had Adam remained in a state of purity we have no means of knowing. The human body under its present conditions of sleep, nourishment, and reproduction is manifestly but the temporary tent and workshop of the soul. The shadow which fell on... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 8:1-39

Let's turn to the eighth chapter of Romans. Fasten your seatbelts as we take off.In the seventh chapter of the book of Romans, Paul has come to the realization that the law is spiritual. While he was a Pharisee he thought of the law as physical, intended to control man's outward actions. But when he came to the realization that the law was spiritual, then he realized that the law actually condemned him to death because, though he had physically kept the law, spiritually he had violated it.So he... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 8:1-39

The first four verses of this chapter belong to the preseding one, and deduce the just conclusions therefrom, that the state of fallen man is a state of condemnation and legal bondage that he cannot extricate himself by any unavailing efforts of legal obedience that God has done for us by Jesus Christ what we could not do for ourselves that this liberation is obtained by union with Christ, which exempts us from condemnation and that those who are thus united to him, walk not after the flesh,... read more

Romans 8:11But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus … dwell in you.The indwelling SpiritThe indwelling of God the Holy Spirit is the common mark of all believers in Christ. It is the shepherd’s mark of the flock of the Lord Jesus, distinguishing them from the rest of the world. It is the goldsmith’s stamp on the genuine sons of God, which separates them from the dross and mass of false professors. It is the king’s own seal on those who are his peculiar people, proving them to be his own... read more
