How does the concept of being spiritually dead relate to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that all are spiritually dead in sin and need regeneration to be saved (Ephesians 2:1-5).

According to Ephesians 2:1-5, humanity is born spiritually dead in sin, with no inherent ability to seek God or bring about their own salvation. This total depravity signifies that apart from divine intervention—specifically regeneration by the Holy Spirit—no one can come to faith or understand the things of God. The condition of spiritual death highlights the necessity of the new birth; it demonstrates that salvation is entirely a work of grace initiated by God. As Nicodemus learned, regardless of one’s moral or religious credentials, rebirth is essential to new life in Christ.
