The Apostle Paul declares, "And you were dead in the trespasses and sins ... But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us ... , made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:1,4,5-6). The bible reveals that we were spiritually dead. Through faith in Christ we have been spiritually raised from the dead. We are Risen men and women!
