You either are or were dead, there is no getting around it. The Bible makes this all quite clear. The question becomes what was the cause of your death? The cause of death is the same for everyone and its sin. You were killed by sin, and it brought sure death to you. Now of course I’m not talking about a physical death, I’m talking about something even worse and that’s spiritual death which makes you subject to God’s anger, which is far worse than your heart stopping. Once a person realizes how dead they were its only then will they give Christ the glory He deserves. Once you give Christ the glory you will sin from time to time but you will hate sin and will not be controlled by it. If you’re still dead admit it, and ask Jesus into your life so that you too can be brought back to life. In the end you don’t just die and go away you either spend eternity in Heaven with Christ or in Hell separated from Him. The only way to life is to determine that cause of death. The cause of death is sin and the ONLY cure for sin is Jesus.
Ephesians 2:1-3
1 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. 2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.
