Why is being 'without Christ' significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Being without Christ signifies a state of separation from God, hope, and salvation.

The significance of being 'without Christ' is profound as it encapsulates the dire condition of unbelievers. Ephesians 2:12 clarifies that at one time, believers were without Christ, described as aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers from the covenants of promise, and having no hope. This state signifies total separation from God and the resulting despair and misery that ensue. Without Christ, there is no reconciliation, righteousness, light, or life. Conversely, the transition from being without Christ to being made near by His blood (Ephesians 2:13) highlights the transformative power of God's grace through faith, leading to new life and hope in Him.
