Lazarus was not the only person Jesus brought back to life. When one trusts in Jesus as his Savior, Christ brings him out of the spiritual death he once walked in to newness of life. Being dead in our sin, we could not make the choice to trust in Christ, for we would be unable to choose Him. The Holy Spirit works in us to show the evil of our sin and bears us along to faith in Christ. We now are enabled to live for Jesus because He has restored us. We no longer walk as the world does, but we walk with the one who has given us life. We have been united with Jesus through His death and resurrection, having been brought from death to life ourselves. We have been made into a new creation through Jesus, no longer dead to our sin, but alive in Christ.
