Dead and born again!

We are all sinners and dead before God but something great can happen! Read these verses:



Ephesians 2:1

And you were dead in the trespasses and sins



John 3:3

3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”



Romans 8:10



But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.



What is that great thing that can happen? We can be born again through Christ Jesus. Some make this very hard to understand but it really is simple. Let me explain. Sin equals death. God is Holy and can not be in the presence of sin. That puts all of us in a bad place because we are all sinners. So since we are dead we must be born again holy before God. How can we do that? Through Jesus. We are born again by putting our faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ for our sins. Then we follow Him the rest of our lives and God sees us as holy before Him because the sinless Son of God's blood covers us! Se that isn't to hard to see is it?



So here is the main point for today.....are you dead or alive? You are one or the other. Dead to God in sin or alive to God through Jesus!
