What does passing from death to life mean in the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
Passing from death to life signifies a spiritual rebirth and eternal salvation.
In the context of the sermon, 'passing from death to life' signifies the transformative work of Christ in a believer's life. John 5:24 states, 'He that hears My word and believes on Him that sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.' This transition is both a present possession and a future reality. Spiritually, it indicates being raised from spiritual death due to sin, granted new life in Christ through faith. This process is inherently linked to the sovereign grace of God, where individuals—apart from any works—are chosen and called to experience this profound change and assurance of eternal life.
