"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 call DEAD MAN WALKING. The theme of the movie is that sometimes men are all ready dead, but they just do not know it! They are on the path to death and unless some miracle intervenes they will soon die. In fact it is just a matter of time until all of us meet the same fate. We are all born and we will all die. You are considered spiritually dead if you still have your sinful nature and have not become a child of God. You are DEAD because of your sinful nature and the sins you have all ready committed. You can only be made ALIVE by accepting the free gift of life from Jesus Christ. He will forgive all your sins and save you from death and separation from God. Thus you will be "Born Again" to a new life.
Are you a "dead man walking" right now? You may be alive physically but spiritually you are doomed. Your end is in sight and it is not pretty. If you reject Jesus Christ the Lord God you will be forever separated from Him. It will be your own choice and your own consequence! We are all subject to death and then the judgement of the Lord. Our spirit will survive eternally and the only question is where it will reside. If you continue in your sin and never accept the free gift of eternal life and the mercy and forgiveness of God then you will be condemned to be separated eternally from God. This "second death" is the one to fear for there is no returning and finding new life. True believer's do not have to fear the first death as they will be resurrected and given a new life and a new body. Are you DEAD OR ALIVE?
There is only one way and one truth that will save you. There is only one Saviour, and that is Jesus Christ the Lord God. We all have come short of the glory of God and no one is good, no not one or us. If you accept the free gift of life and salvation you will avoid eternal death and damnation. You will be alive eternally and in Heaven with the Lord and there we will be, always! The choice seems so clear and obvious that no one would prefer death to live, but, there are many who have been deceived and still believe the lie that "surely you will not die".
What will you choose to be, DEAD OR ALIVE?
