COLOSSIANS 2:13
"You were DEAD because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you ALIVE with Christ, for He forgave all your sins."
There is a popular movie called DEAD MAN WALKING. The main theme is that sometimes men are all ready dead and they do not even know it. You could say, death is imminent and inevitable, it is just a matter of time until their demise and they are oblivious to that fact. We remain dead spiritually as long as we remain in our sinful nature. We can only be made alive by accepting Jesus Christ and His gift of life. This is what it means to be born again, this time in the spirit instead of the flesh. The flesh which is subject to death means you are dead in your sins.
Are you a dead man walking right now? You may be alive physically at this moment, but your end is in sight and inevitable. Death happens to us all. Are you aware that you also have a spiritual nature that will go on eternally? If you continue in your sin then you are subject to not just this earthly death, but the second and eternal death that is chosen by non believers in Christ. If you are not made alive with Christ and have your sins forgiven you will remain dead in your sins forever.
There is only one hope to avoid death and remain alive. There is only one saviour for every person and that is Jesus Christ. Jesus will cut away your sinful nature and give you a new spiritual and eternal life. You have to accept this free gift of life in order to end your carnal nature. All your sins will be forgiven. Choose to accept Jesus Christ. Choose to accept life.
ARE YOU DEAD, OR ALIVE?
