The concept of the spiritually dead is often mentioned in the Bible, meaning a state of being disconnected from God. These people are spiritually insensitive and do not understand or obey God's will. Here, I will explain in detail the characteristics of the spiritually dead and what the Bible teaches about them.
Characteristics of the Spiritually Dead
- broken relationship with God
- A person who is spiritually dead has lost their relationship with God. They do not recognize God and do not receive His guidance.
- Ephesians 2:1-2: “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and sins, he hath quickened, in which ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, a spirit which now worketh in the sons of disobedience. ."
- spiritual numbness
- They are indifferent or insensitive to spiritual things. They do not understand spiritual truth, have no sense of guilt, or feel remorse.
- 1 Corinthians 2:14: “But the natural man do not receive the things of the Spirit of God, because they are foolish to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
- dominion of sin
- A spiritually dead person is under the control of sin. They cannot escape from sinful habits and temptations and become slaves to sin.
- Romans 6:16: “Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants to obey, you are slaves of the one to whom you obey, either of sin, leading to death; or of obedience, leading to righteousness?”
- absence of the Holy Spirit
- The Holy Spirit does not dwell in a spiritually dead person. Because they lack the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, their lives are spiritually dry and dark.
- Romans 8:9: “But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.”
Consequences of the Spiritually Dead
- eternal separation
- Those who die spiritually are forever separated from God. This means eternal punishment in hell.
- Revelation 20:15: “And whoever was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.”
- lack of life
- A spiritually dead person cannot enjoy true life. If you do not receive the abundant life and eternal life that Jesus gives, you will end up in eternal death.
- John 3:36: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
restoration of the spiritually dead
- Salvation through Jesus Christ
- Those who are spiritually dead can be saved and come back to life spiritually by believing in Jesus Christ. If they believe and accept Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, their sins will be forgiven and their relationship with God will be restored.
- John 5:24: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has passed from death into life.”
- residence of the Holy Spirit
- The Holy Spirit dwells within them, renewing and guiding them. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can break free from the domination of sin and live a life of obedience to God.
- Ephesians 1:13-14: “In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who was the pledge of our inheritance, having redeemed the purchased possession of his “To the praise of glory.”
- new life
- Those who are saved become new creatures, and the old passes away and becomes new. They now enjoy intimate fellowship with God and live according to God's will.
- 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
conclusion
A spiritually dead person has a severed relationship with God, is under the control of sin, and cannot understand spiritual truth. However, if they believe in Jesus Christ and are saved, the Holy Spirit lives within them and they live a new life. In order to escape spiritual death and enjoy true life and salvation, it is important to believe in and follow Jesus.
