As we have read in the previous section, Paul wrote that God’s Spirit will quicken our mortal bodies:

 

"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 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.” (Romans 8:9-11)  

 

What Spirit dwells in us? The Holy Spirit! It is the Holy Spirit that raises us up at the rapture. Yet, Jesus taught this in the book of John:

 

“And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:39-40)

 

Jesus claimed that He would raise us up, not the Holy Spirit. Did Jesus take all the credit, when He knew that another person would raise believers up? Or is the “Holy Spirit” the “Spirit of Christ” because there is only one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4) and Jesus is the one God of Israel in human form?
