ALIVE IN JESUS

Ephesians 2:1" And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins"
 Paul speaks about the Spiritual death here.Death Means ‘separation of one thing from another. Physical death is the separation of the soul from the body.Spiritual death(Eternal) is the separation of the soul from God. Death is the result of sin.
 
First Lets see how sin entered this earth
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you  shall surely die.”  Genesis 2:16

Adam was physically alive after he committed the sin. Adam lived for 930 years.But in that same day he got separated from God.Sin separates us from God because He is a holy God. Man Kind lost the relationship with God and the authority that was given to man by God as the result of sin .
Therefore, just as through one-man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.

Now lets see what is trespass and sins:
Greek word for sin is ‘hamartia ’  which means Miss the mark (To fail of ones purpose) which occurs 448 times in the bible.To say in others words sin is "Doing something you should not do against god and that makes god angry."
Greek word for Trespass ‘Paraptoma ’ which means ' to fall away' or ‘To deviate from right path ” or “Go beyond your rights” (para away  ptóma to fall) Occurs 82 times 

Few other Verses for reference:

I.“For the wages of sin is death” Romans 6:23
II. “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.  I Cor 15:55-57
III. For as in Adam all die . I Cor 15:22


Ephesians 2:1 "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins"

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS "God through Jesus Defeated the Death in the cross and brought a victory for us. He took our sins upon His shoulder. We are made alive in Jesus Christ" . As written in Isaiah But he(Jesus) was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him. "Death is defeated ,the king is alive The grave is empty, Christ is risen .Power of sin is broken,Christ is Risen indeed.Praise God for his son Jesus Christ ,the .only Savior of the world"

Now Lets read the continuation of the verses 
I. “but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
II. “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” I Cor 15:57
III. “even so in Christ all shall be made alive.” I cor 15:22

God through Jesus Christ Made us alive and He restored back relationship with the Father. So we become alive through Jesus.He gave us a life,life in abundance. Some situation may look dead in our life but when we invite Jesus in our life he can turn around the situation for us. He is a lord who restore everything.  Also when we ask God for the help any thing that is keeping us away from Jesus will be broken and we will start experiencing the love of God.

Jesus said, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” (John 5:24)
