Romans 1:4, "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead"
The truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God is tied in with his resurrection. Through God raising the Lord Jesus from the dead we see God proving the identity of the Lord Jesus. When Jesus was raised from the dead it was not with just a regular, natural body but with a resurrection body that can never die again. He is the first of this new creation, the new man with a resurrection body.
The spirit of holiness is the Holy Spirit. We see that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit were all involved in the birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. God is three in one. 1 John 5:7-8.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead. Death is not the end of the line for those who believe and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Lord Jesus, thank you for dying in my place. I am thankful that you rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for your promise that you will come again and receive us unto yourself that where you are we may be also. Amen.
