Eph 2:1
Dead people don’t do stuff. At least, they don’t do the right stuff.
Someone who does not follow Jesus is considered dead because of their sins. They may be alive when it comes to breathing and heart beating, but their hearts are as as good as dead.
It’s not that a person that doesn’t follow Jesus cant do anything, its that they don’t do the right things and that means they’re as good as dead.
Notice that they live according to the ways of this world,
