Understanding Spiritual Death | Revive From Spiritual Decay

By Pastor Dennis Williams

Due to original sin, being spiritually dead and lacking a relationship with God results in wrath and judgment. The only solution is the sovereign grace of God.

By nature, humans are spiritually dead.
It is linked to physical death Ge 2:17 See also Ge 3:3,19; Pr 11:19; Eze 18:20-31; Jn 8:21-24; Ro 1:32; 6:23


It is the universal consequence of sin Eph 2:1 Also see: Ge 8:21; 1Ch 10:13; Ps 51:5; 58:3; Pr 21:16; Jn 6:53; Ro 3:23; 5:12-13,17; Col 2:13
It is confirmed in the law Ro 5:20 Also see: Ro 7:4-12; 8:2-4; Gal 2:19
It is evident in the human mind. Ro 8:6; 2Co 4:4; Col 1:21; Tit 1:15
It is evidenced in the human body Ro 7:24 Also see: Ro 6:12-14,16; 8:10; 1Co 15:50; 2Co 5:10; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 4:22; 1Ti 5:6; Jas 3:6
Spiritual darkness brings judgment
God’s judgment is final Lk 16:26 Also see: Isa 66:24; Mt 8:12; 25:30-32; Mk 9:43-49; Lk 13:28; Heb 9:27; 1Pe 1:17
The second death Rev 20:14-15 Also see: Mt 25:41; 1Jn 5:16-17; Jude 12; Rev 2:11; 21:8
God is the one who starts the process of rescuing people from spiritual deadness.
He brings salvation Eph 2:4-5 Also see: Ps 103:12; Isa 26:19; Eze 37:1-14
He brings union with the death of Jesus Christ Ro 6:4 Also see:  Ro 6:5-10; 2Co 4:10; 5:15-17; Gal 2:19-20; 5:24; 6:14; Php 3:10; Col 2:12
He brings union with the resurrection of Jesus Christ Col 3:1 Also see: Ro 5:21; 6:11; Rev 20:4-5
He brings ultimate physical resurrection Ro 8:10-11 Also see: 1Co 15:42-49
Concern for those who are spiritually sleepy
Eph 5:14 Also see: Ro 13:11; 1Th 5:5-7; Rev 3:1-2


Say this prayer: Father in heaven, Thank you for sending your Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for the forgiveness of my sin. Lord Jesus, please forgive me for my sins. Come into my heart, and be my Lord and Savior. Please, help me live for you and fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
