What does the Bible say about spiritual resurrection?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that the dead in sin shall hear the voice of the Son of God and live, indicating that spiritual resurrection is granted to the elect by God's sovereign grace.
In John 5:25, it is written, 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.' This signifies that those who are dead in their sins are spiritually unable to respond to God without His intervention. This spiritual resurrection represents a miraculous work of God, where He quickens the hearts of the elect to respond to His call and receive life. It emphasizes the sovereignty of God in granting spiritual life to those whom He elects, demonstrating His grace and mercy.
