What does the Bible say about passing from death to life?
Answered in 9 sources
The Bible declares that believers have passed from death to life through their love for the brethren, which is a sign of their regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
In 1 John 3:14, it is stated that 'we know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.' This reflects the transformation that occurs when one is born again by the Holy Spirit. The love for one another is a fruit that indicates a vital relationship with Christ, confirming one's status as living in Him. Before regeneration, individuals were spiritually dead, oblivious to the things of God, but upon receiving the Holy Spirit, they gain new affections and desires, leading to genuine love for God's people.
