Because of His Love.

Remember the story of Jesus raising the young girl from the dead?
Here's the ending:

Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, "My child, get up!" 
And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up!
Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.

(Luke 8:54-55, NLT)

Jesus physically raised up a young daughter from her death bed! What a miracle!

He didn't have to do it. She was already dead. But He did it because He loved. 

I believe, just like Paul, that he is still doing the same thing and that he can raise anybody from the dead:

"But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions; it is by grace you have been saved."

(Ephesians 2:4-5, NIV)
