\u201cAnd you were dead in the trespasses and sins\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Joh 5:25<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u201cTruly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.<\/p>\n

Revelation 3:1<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAnd to the angel of the church in Sardis write: \u2018The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. \u201c\u2018I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.<\/p>\n

Ephesians 2:5<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ\u2014by grace you have been saved\u2014<\/p>\n

Colossians 2:13<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,<\/p>\n

1 Timothy 5:6<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0but she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.<\/p>\n

James 2:26<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 4:1<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it.\u00a0\u00a0For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.<\/p>\n

Dead but still alive? Walking with God through our life should have God honoring and glorifying life to it. Some might set the expectation for this very low and say because I don’t do certain things I am honoring and glorifying God. \u00a0I don’t think it is about doing or not doing but rather a deep heart desire to be lead by God and seeking to hear His whispers of guidance and commitment to humbly serve, honor, follow and obey. \u00a0If the spirit of God is not present in our life we are dead though we live. \u00a0Our best plans, thoughts and actions are of no good if they are not foundationaly set in seeking and desiring to honor and glorify God. \u00a0There is so much we are bombarded each day and we need to be careful to set our heart, mind and soul in His word keeping our ears, eyes, and heart open to see, hear and do that which brings true honor and glory to Him alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
