Here is the meaning of Romans 8:11.

” But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.”

According to the Bible passage given above, ” But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you”, this means if the Spirit of the one who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, dwells or lives inside your body. It should be noted that the one who raised Christ from the dead is the Father (God) and Romans 6:4 confirms that Christ was raised up by the glory of the Father, and that glory of father is the Holy Spirit, also referred to as the ” power of the highest” (Luke 1:35).

” He that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.”, this second part of the Bible passage means that the one who raise Christ from the dead (the Father) will quicken (revive, bring to life) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that is dwelling in you. Since our mortal bodies is active to sin but dead to God, the Spirit quicken it by setting us free from sin and that means he makes us dead to sin, and alive to God (Romans 6:7 and Romans 8:2).
