And what an apt picture this is of one aspect of the Gospel we preach. The Bible describes the natural man -the man or woman without Jesus Christ in their lives - as being “dead in trespasses and sins”; dead because of the spiritual life which was lost when Adam sinned, a condition that we have inherited. But the glorious truth is that through faith in Jesus Christ, that life can be restored and experienced here and now. Jesus said, “He who hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has (note - present tense) everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).
