God, our Heavenly Father, loved us so much, that He made for Himself a body so that He Himself could die for our sins. (1John 3:16, Acts 20:28)

He overshadowed Mary to conceive in her a human body that would be born without sin, so that He could pay the price Himself of shedding blood by death for our sins. (Leviticus 17:11, Hebrews 9:22, Matthew 26:28, Colossians 1:12-23, 1John 3:5, Revelation 1:5)

This body that the Father dwelt in is called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35, John 14:7-11)

When Jesus died on the cross, it was not the Father that died, it was the Father’s very own flesh and blood that the Father dwelt in that died. It was that body that was buried and rose again on the third day. (Acts 20:28, Colossians 1:15, 2Corinthians 5:19). It was by the Spirit of God that His body was resurrected. (Romans 8:11)

Jesus foretold of the death, burial, and resurrection of His body by explaining that His body is the Temple of God the Father.

"And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. ... Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said." - John 2:16, 18-22 KJV

When we repent of our sins, are baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sins, and receive the Holy Ghost speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives us the ability, we have received the same Spirit that raised Christ from the grave. (Acts 2:38-39, Acts 2:4)

"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. [so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.] But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." - Romans 8:9-11 KJV
