Are you dead?
You may be,
and not even know it
Because until you reach out to Jesus
and place your life
into His hands
the Bible says
you are dead
You need His Spirit
living inside of you
to be alive
You will think you are alive
but you are not
You are a shell,
with a soul wanting
So humble yourself
before God Almighty
and accept His beautiful gift
of LIFE
in His Son
May you know
salvation from your sin
light for your heart
and freedom for your aching soul
Trust Jesus
and wake up from death

As Jesus was saying this, the leader of a synagogue came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said, “but you can bring her back to life again if you just come and lay your hand on her.”…
When Jesus arrived at the official’s home, He saw the noisy crowd and heard the funeral music. “Get out!” He told them. “The girl isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.” But the crowd laughed at Him. After the crowd was put outside, however, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up!
– Matthew 9:18-19, 23-25 (NLT)
It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It’s a wonder God didn’t lose His temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, He embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on His own, with no help from us! Then He picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.
– Ephesians 2:1-6 (MSG)
God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)
– Ephesians 2:4,5 (NLT)
