What does it mean to be passed from death to life?
Answered in 1 source
To be passed from death to life means to experience spiritual regeneration and salvation through faith in Christ (John 5:24).
Being passed from death to life refers to the miraculous transformation that occurs in the life of a believer upon receiving Christ. John 5:24 emphasizes this transition where Jesus affirms that true believers have moved from a state of spiritual death—under condemnation—to eternal life through faith in Him. This transformation is an act of divine grace, where the Holy Spirit grants new life, enabling the believer to live in accordance with God's will. It signifies not only a change in status before God but also a change in lifestyle; those who are granted life are called to live in newness of life, reflecting their new identity in Christ.
