Ephesians chapter two tells us, that all of us who were dead in our trespasses and sins,  God has made us alive together with Christ, by grace through faith. To be alive means that we are not dead, that we are in a state of action, filled with energy and spirit.  To often we forget that we have life, and dwell on our weaknesses and faults when we have been made new creations in Christ and made whole by the Power of His Life.
