How does God give life to the spiritually dead according to scripture?
Answered in 1 source
God gives life by His Spirit, as noted in the sermon, calling the dead to live as illustrated in Ezekiel 16.
God's method of imparting spiritual life to the dead is clearly articulated in various passages, including Ezekiel 16, where He declares, 'Live!' This act of bringing to life is not based on human will or effort but is entirely the work of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 2:1-5 reinforces this by stating that we were dead in our trespasses and sins, yet God made us alive through Christ. The timing of this divine intervention is crucial; until God breathes life into a person's heart, they remain spiritually blind. This divine empowerment is what enables faith and belief, emphasizing the sovereignty of God in the process of salvation.
