True life is being reconnected with love
When Paul states in Ephesians 2:1 that we were “dead in our sins,” he is not talking about bad actions. He is describing disconnection. Like a branch torn from the vine (as Jesus mentioned in John 15), humanity was spiritually separated from the flow of divine life.
Death, in Scripture, is not just the absence of life—it is life disconnected from love.
It is: the absence of communion, the loss of intimacy, the silence of the Spirit, the inability to experience the Father’s heart, and the numbness of living without belonging.
This is why salvation is not primarily a legal event — it is a relational restoration. It is the Father reconnecting us to Himself through the life of His Son.
