🧠 Explanation: This verse emphasizes the power of the Holy Spirit living within believers. It assures them that the same Spirit who raised Jesus Christ from the dead now dwells in Christians and will also give life to their mortal bodies someday.

This means you are not alone in your challenges; the Holy Spirit empowers you to live victoriously now and assures you of the resurrection and eternal life in the future.
