How is a person brought out of being dead in trespasses and sins?
A person is brought out of being dead in trespasses and sins by an act of God when they believe the Gospel. Scripture teaches that Christ died for all, and because He died for all, every human being was dead in trespasses and sins until God brought them out of that deadness upon belief.
Les teaches that in 2 Corinthians chapter 5, Paul stresses that Christ died for all. Because Christ died for all, every last human being was dead in trespasses and sins until they were brought out of that deadness by an act of God, when they believe the Gospel. Les points out that Paul’s word 'wherefore' in verse 16 calls us to reflect back on this finished work of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. The whole idea is to learn what the Bible actually says, not to rely on human tradition or misunderstanding.
