"Why the Trinity Giving Life to Our Mortal Bodies Is Not Referring to Divine Healing?"

Romans 8:10-11 "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you"

Ephesians 3:16-17 "...to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." 

Item	Why the Trinity Giving Life to Our Mortal Bodies Is Not Referring to Divine Healing?
Reason	1. God giving life refers to the Triune God dispensing His life essence into the entire being of believers 2. This is the result of God's process of incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection, becoming the Spirit of life 3. The purpose is for God's life to permeate the believer's entire being, including spirit, soul, and body
Meaning	1. Not merely healing physical ailments, but a deeper transformation of life 2. It is God injecting His life essence into our mortal bodies 3. It is the result of allowing God's Spirit to make home in us, permeating our entire being with God's life
Means	1. Through the Holy Spirit (Spirit of life) dwelling in believers 2. Through believers opening themselves to God 3. Through the completed process of the Triune God—incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection
Process	1. First, God's life enters the believer's spirit, making the spirit life 2. From the spirit, it expands to the soul (mind, emotion, will) 3. Finally, it extends to the mortal body 4. Like electricity flowing from one point to the entire building
Result	1. Not only healing the body but making the body alive 2. Being filled unto all the fullness of God 3. Making believers people filled with all the riches of His life 4. Enabling believers to fulfill God's will
Example	1. Like electricity installed in a building, but requiring unobstructed pathways to fully operate 2. Believers need to pray to open channels such as emotions, allowing God's life to be freely dispensed 3. The Spirit of life, as convenient as air, enters believers and expands within
Related Scriptures	Ephesians 3:19 "...that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God" Romans 8:2,6 "...the law of the Spirit of life...the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace" 1 Corinthians 15:45 "...the last Adam became a life-giving spirit" 2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit" John 20:22 "...he breathed on them and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit'"

 

Conclusion:

The Triune God giving life to our mortal bodies is not referring to divine healing but to a deeper process of life transformation. It is the process by which the Triune God—who completed the process of incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection to become the Spirit of life—dispenses His divine life from our spirit to our soul and ultimately to our mortal bodies. This dispensing brings not only healing but also enables our entire being to be filled with God's life, allowing us to fulfill His will.
