Being made alive in Christ

Ephesians 2:1 HCSB

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins

Crossing over from death to life

John 5:24–26 HCSB

“I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life. “I assure you: An hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted to the Son to have life in Himself.

Believers continue to live by the power of the risen Christ

Philippians 4:13 HCSB

I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Results of being made alive in Christ

Spiritual desires

Colossians 3:1–2 HCSB

So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth.

Spiritual assurance

Colossians 3:3–4 HCSB

For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God. When the Messiah, who is your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

Spiritual appetite

1 Peter 2:1–3 HCSB

So rid yourselves of all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, desire the pure spiritual milk, so that you may grow by it for your salvation, since you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Commitment to God

Romans 6:13 HCSB

And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness.

Love for fellow believers

1 John 3:14 HCSB

We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.

Spiritual character

Romans 7:4 HCSB

Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God.
