How do we know that God gives life to His people?

Ezekiel 37:5 emphasizes that God Himself declares, 'I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.' This proclamation is key to understanding how life is imparted to God's people. The Word of God is not just a statement but an active force that performs what it commands (Isaiah 55:11). It is through the preaching of the Word, empowered by the Holy Spirit, that dead sinners are awakened to new life. The resurrection of Lazarus (John 11) illustrates how Jesus calls the dead to life, underscoring that regeneration is initiated solely by God's voice.
