SPIRITUALLY DEAD
Ephesians 2:1-3 lays our very clearly and simply the condition of an unbeliever. The main characteristic is that an unregenerate man is spiritually dead. What does that mean? I am so glad you asked.
Death = the exact opposite of life
= antithetical to life in all its forms
To be spiritually dead means just this. You are:
Dead to God. No relationship. No fellowship. No nothing but an object of His wrath.
Dead to spiritual truth. Cannot understand Biblical truth. I Corinthians 2:10-14
Dead to spiritual life. Have nothing with which to serve God.
Dead to righteousness. That which you need the most is what you have the least. II Corinthians 5:20-21
Dead to inner peace and happiness.
Dead to the reality of going to heaven. Unable. Unfit as you are.
Dead means you are unresponsive to any stimuli. All stimuli.
Dead people do not respond to sound. Light. Smell. Touch. Pain. Anything. Lifeless.
Salvation is possessing spiritual life. See John 17:3
God alone is the Source and Author life. Acts 17:24-28.
He alone has immortality.
He alone gives life.
Apart from God, there is no life!
That is why you need Jesus!
