"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 just do not know it. You could say their death is imminent and inevitable. It is just a matter of time until their demise and they are oblivious to the fact. The One Truth Today explains that we are all spiritually dead because of our sins and we can only be made alive by Christ Jesus. By accepting the gift of life from the Lord we can be born again and that eternally. We are alive spiritually and not just to the flesh. The flesh is subject to death and you can only find true life through Jesus Christ.
Are you a dead man walking right now? You may be alive physically at this moment but your end is in sight and death is inevitable. One thing happens to us all, first death and then the judgement. You also have a spiritual component that will live eternally. The question is where will you spend eternity, in Heaven or Hell. If you have not been made alive with Christ Jesus and had your sins forgiven, you will remain dead in your sins forever.
The Good News is that we have a hope and we can avoid eternal death. We have a Saviour and that is Jesus Christ. He will cut away your sinful nature and give you a new spiritual life that is without sin. You have to make the choice to accept this free gift of eternal life. That is the only way you can end your carnal nature and be forgiven of you prior sins. What is your choice, will you accept Jesus Christ and His gift of life or will you be another Dead Man Walking? Are you DEAD OR ALIVE?
