A Guaranteed Resurrection
The most common understanding of this verse, shared by commentators like Spurgeon and Gill, is that it promises a future, physical resurrection. The same divine Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in believers. This indwelling acts as a guarantee that your mortal body will also be 'quickened' or made alive, sharing in the glory of Christ's resurrection.
