How does God bring life to the spiritually dead?

Answered in 1 source

God brings life to the spiritually dead by the Holy Spirit through the preaching of His Word.

The process of bringing life to the spiritually dead is a sovereign work of God, executed through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Ezekiel 37, after the bones form and appear to be alive, it is only when God commands the breath to enter that they truly live. This mirrors the new birth described in John 3, where Jesus explains that one must be born of the Spirit to have spiritual life. This transformation is not a result of human efforts but of divine intervention. As Romans 10:17 indicates, 'Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' Therefore, it is essential for Christ to be preached so that the Holy Spirit may call the dead to life.
