'Alive' in the Bible
For when he died, he died once and for all as far as sin is concerned. But now that he is alive, he lives for God.
Don't you realize, brothers for I am speaking to people who know the Law that the Law can press its claims over a person only as long as he is alive?
At one time I was alive without any connection to the Law. But when the rule was revealed, sin sprang to life,
But if the Messiah is in you, your bodies are dead due to sin, but the spirit is alive due to righteousness.
And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.
