How does God give life to the spiritually dead?

According to the sermon, God's method of bringing life to those who are spiritually dead is through His word, which should be preached with authority and power. Just as God commanded Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones, the gospel is proclaimed to those who are lost, and it is through this proclamation that the Spirit breathes life into the hearts of the elect. This is illustrated in John 10:27, where Jesus says, 'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.' The work of the Holy Spirit is essential, as He brings understanding and responsiveness to the dead soul, enabling it to respond to God's call.
