The Bible says that all people are dead in trespasses and sins. We are dead to God right from the start of our life. We are born separated from God. He is not our father or our friend when we are born. Not only are we sinners (for all have sinned Rom. 3:23) incapable of pleasing God but we are actually spiritually dead. We are not physically dead until we die but we are born spiritually dead.
What does a dead person need? They need life. When you are born again you receive this spiritual life. Now you are alive to God and not separate from Him. How do we get this life? "The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 6:23. Jesus is the only who has this life. He has resurrection life. He died for the sins of the world, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day. Now everyone who trusts Him with their whole heart he saves and makes spiritually alive. Alive to God. Call on Jesus.
Place your faith in Jesus. Show your faith by calling on His name. His name saves you. We are all already forgiven because of His death on the cross. What we need is His life. God wants to adopt you into His family. When you believe in Jesus with your whole heart God becomes your Father because you honored His Son.
