Life

 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

Colossians 2:13 ESV


We don't simply need a bit of spiritual therapy, or even spiritual healing. We need to be raised from spiritual death! The Bible teaches that we are naturally spiritually dead, and need to be made alive by God.


Why are we spiritually dead? Because of our trespasses. It's not however that we sin, therefore we're dead. We're dead, therefore we sin. Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks and the hands act.


We need spiritual heart circumcision. We need our dead spiritual hearts to be cut away and transplanted with living hearts that beat to a different tune than sin. Only God can do this for us.


When God transforms our hearts, we become spiritually alive. We're resurrected, and become new creations. All that old badness gets forgiven, and we get to live in newness of life. We still might not be perfect, but God refuses to hold the sins of His people against them.


'O Lord God Almighty, thank You for raising these dead souls of ours to live for You. May we honour You in our lives, for the glory of Your name, amen'
