'Dead' in the Bible

which he brought about in the Messiah when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realm.

You used to be dead because of your offenses and sins

even when we were dead because of our offenses, made us alive together with the Messiah (by grace you have been saved),

for the light is making everything visible. That is why it says, "Wake up, sleeper! Arise from the dead, and the Messiah will shine on you.''
