made alive

Part of the Bible (Ephesians 2) describes something miraculous.  It describes people going from death to life.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler who exercises authority over the lower heavens, the spirit now working in the disobedient.  We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.  But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us, made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace! Together with Christ Jesus He also raised us up and seated us in the heavens, so that in the coming ages He might display the immeasurable riches of His grace through His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.  For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift —  not from works, so that no one can boast.  For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them.

It's amazing!  Once dead, now alive.

Lately I been enjoying this song which is based on this part of the Bible.

What a marvellous mystery!  Once dead, but walking.  Now alive in heaven, but still here.  I don't really get, but I know it's true.  God doesn't lie.  Besides which, I've seen this new life at work in me now.  I'm a different person - just ask my mum!
