Our Life Was Dead and Risen with Christ

 Before Christ, we were lost — caught in a life without purpose, weighed down by sin, and disconnected from the fullness of God’s love. Spiritually, we were lifeless — breathing, but not truly alive. But through Christ’s death and resurrection, something miraculous happened: we were given a new beginning.

When Jesus was crucified, He took our sin, our shame, and everything that separated us from God. And when He rose again, He didn’t rise alone — we rose with Him. Our old life — the one defined by guilt, fear, and emptiness — was buried. And in its place, a new life was born. A life shaped by grace, powered by love, and filled with purpose.

This new life isn’t about perfection. It’s about transformation. It’s about walking each day in the freedom Christ has given us — no longer chained to our past, but alive in Him. We live not for ourselves, but as reflections of the One who gave everything for us.

Our story now echoes His: from death to life, from brokenness to wholeness, from darkness to light. Because He lives, we live — not just physically, but spiritually, eternally.

So let us walk in this truth with joy and boldness. We were once dead, but now we are risen — with Christ, through Christ, and for Christ.
