What happens to a person when they are saved spiritually?
When a person is saved spiritually, the one who was dead in trespasses and sins is made alive spiritually in this life. That person is raised from a dead spiritual existence into an existence filled with the Spirit of God, possessing a new divine nature, with all that salvation brings working on their behalf.
Les teaches that resurrection power lies at the very core of the Christian belief, and it begins first in salvation. Using Ephesians 2:1, he explains that those who were dead in trespasses and sins have been made alive spiritually in this life. They are raised from a dead spiritual existence to an existence filled with the Spirit of God. They receive a new divine nature, and all that salvation brings works on their behalf. Les notes these truths were unknown until the writings of the Apostle Paul, and he ties them to the believer's eternal state, whose heart is the resurrection.
