Romans 8: 11
He who raised Christ
from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit
who lives in you.
As we grow older we begin to realise that our life span is
but short. The bible tells us that on average the life span of men today is
around 70 yrs old. Many of us are already there or maybe getting there very
soon. The sad thing is that many others do not enjoy this blessing of good
health and long life.
Yesterday I saw on the Facebook a posting for a friend of
ours who is a midwife and in a month’s time she would be celebrating her 100th
birthday. This is indeed a godly blessing and a marvel in today’s society. She
is also a believer of Jesus Christ and
she is an example of what Paul wrote in Roms 8: 2 “the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of
sin and death.”
We are not saying that this will set us completely free from
natural death but if we are godly and holy, then we will be able to enjoy
divine health and a long and healthy life on earth before we get to heaven.
Further down in verse 6 Paul wrote; “The mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” This also
confirmed that when we live righteous for God, our mind and our soul will have
life and peace. We will not be fearful or stressed out every day, instead we
will enjoy the peace of God and His blessing everyday of our lives.
The Holy Spirit who dwells within us will grant us both godly
physical life as well as spiritual life. Let us ask from God the promise that
He has made to us that our lives
