A Second Chance at Life

What It Means to Be Lost?
JUST AS THERE ARE TWO kinds of life—spiritual and physical—so there are two kinds of death—spiritual and physical. It’s possible for a person to be physically alive—walking around town, doing business, having what some call a good time—and still be dead—that is, spiritually dead.

“You . . . were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:1, 2).

Satan leads a spiritually dead person down a descending spiral of sin and disobedience. However, the wonderful truth of the gospel is that God loves “doomed” people. He loves them even while they are falling away from Him, dead in sin, and offers them a full and free deliverance from their predicament.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ . . . that . . . He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:4-9).

God loved us when there was nothing lovable about us. His grace created in us a spiritual resurrection to a new life in Christ. We can’t change ourselves, but God can. He gives us a second chance at life.
