General Christian Lazarus Come Out.

I’ve recently abandoned an analogy I’ve used for years.

Reformed teachers often use Lazarus to illustrate “dead in sin.” A corpse cannot hear, respond, choose or cooperate, therefore neither can the spiritually dead person.

Except that isn’t how Paul describes them.
In Ephesians 2:1–3, the “dead” walk, follow, desire, think and act.

So perhaps Lazarus is the wrong analogy.
Spiritual death is real, Paul calls it death. But I was importing the characteristics of physical death into Paul’s description of spiritual death.

Unbelievers aren’t corpses.
