What does being dead in sins mean?

Answered in 1 source

Being dead in sins refers to a state of total depravity where a person cannot please God or respond to Him without divine grace.

Being dead in sins indicates a profound spiritual condition where individuals are completely incapable of responding to God autonomously. As elucidated in Ephesians 2:1, those dead in sins are characterized by total separation from the life of God, rendering them unable to believe, repent, or do good. This state of spiritual death is not merely a metaphorical condition but reflects a serious spiritual reality where the person's entire being is held captive by sin. The resurrection life imparted through Christ breaks this condition, enabling believers to respond positively to God’s call and live righteously.
