Once you were dead because of your disobedience and many sins.
There was a time when I was dead. I was walking around and breathing, but the apostle Paul says in this verse that I was dead. This death he is speaking of is a spiritual death. Its like someone being on death row just waiting for their sentence to be carried out, they're "as good as dead".
So, I was spiritually dead, waiting for my sentence to be carried out, which was judgment then hell!
Why was I dead? How did this happen? The verse says, "because of your disobedience and your many sins". So, it is sin that caused my spiritual death. The Bible also says that "the wages for sin is death".
But wait, there's good news! Verse 4-5 says this: "But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead."
Amen! Thank you Lord Jesus! I'm alive now! I belong to God!
