What does the Bible say about being spiritually dead?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that all are spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, a condition resulting from Adam's disobedience.
The Scriptures, particularly in Ephesians 2:1, state that all are dead in trespasses and sins. This spiritual death signifies a complete inability to respond to God or perform any acts that please Him. According to Romans 5:12, by one man's disobedience, sin entered the world, and death, as a consequence, passed upon all men. Therefore, in our natural state, we are spiritually lifeless and separated from the life of God, resulting in our inability to come to Him unless He intervenes.
