What is the source of resurrection power for the believer?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics

Jesus Christ is the source of resurrection power (Rom. 6:4; Matt. 28:18; Eph. 1:19; Phil. 4:13). This power is available because of His victory over death, and the result of the resurrection is efficacious every day.

Additionally, the Holy Spirit is the source of supernatural power that propels the believer and is the only possible explanation for how one is able to live the Christian way of life. This power enables the believer to cope, function under the strain of life, and handle everyday temptations, disappointments, and attacks.
