Are you dead in sin — or alive in Christ? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 2 and walks us through one of the most sobering and hopeful truths in all of Scripture — that every person born into this world is born spiritually dead because of Adam's sin, but that death is not the end of the story.

Drawing from Luke 7:12-15, John 11, Genesis 2:15-17, Romans 5:12, and John 5:24-40 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster shows us what it means to be dead in trespasses and sin, and what it means to pass from death unto life through faith in Jesus Christ.

You might be asking:

- Why does the Bible say I am dead if I am physically alive?

- How did Adam's sin affect me personally?

- Can someone who goes to church still be spiritually dead?

- What does it mean to truly come to Christ and receive life?

Key points from this devotion:

- Spiritual death entered the world through Adam's disobedience in the Garden of Eden

- Every person is born spiritually dead, unable to respond to or understand spiritual things

- Jesus demonstrated His power over death by raising three people — a girl, a widow's son, and Lazarus

- Coming to Christ is the only way to change a death sentence into everlasting life

- The invitation is open today — come to Christ before it is too late
