Every person is spiritually dead as a result of sin, but the bad news of our condition magnifies the wonder of what God has done for us in Christ Jesus. Alistair Begg explains that because we are united with Christ, we have died to sin with Him, and God has made us spiritually alive. He has raised us with Christ, and we are secure in the victory that He has accomplished on our behalf. As we live in light of these truths, Christians bear testimony to God’s love and mercy and his ultimate triumph over death and sin.
