Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
God's forgiveness brings us from spiritual death to resurrection life and freedom.
We were dead in our sins, completely without hope or ability to free ourselves. But God made us alive with Christ through forgiveness. This is the foundation of our freedom—not our effort, but God's gracious act of bringing us from death to life.
