Out of Spiritual Death

 

Out of Spiritual Death The people say they are like dead bones; dried up and with no hope for the future. So tell them, “I, the Lord God, promise to open your graves and set you free. When that happens, you will realize that I am the Lord. My Spirit will give you breath, and you will live." Ezekiel 37:11-14 This is the greatest and most miraculous change a person can experience—to be lifted out of the grave of spiritual death and brought into the joy and freedom of spiritual life in Christ Jesus. Only the living God, the giver of life, can accomplish this! How well I remember when I was lying in the valley of dry bones, as lifeless as any other sinner! Blessed was the day when God sent someone to speak His life-giving salvation message to me! Glory to God for the stirring that the gospel words caused among my dry spiritual bones! Even more blessed was the heavenly breath that made me alive! Now I know the life-giving Spirit of the ever-living God. Truly, God is the living God, for He brought me to life. My new life, even with its struggles and pains, is proof that the Lord can bring life where there was death. He is the only true God. He is all-powerful, gracious, and glorious, and my soul, made alive by His Spirit, worships Him. As long as I live, I will praise Him. By Charles H. Spurgeon
