Many people want a life do-over. Scripture offers something greater than a fresh start on the old life. A study outline of 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV): what it means to be in Christ, what the believer now is, what is settled, and how this new life is received.

Stop Existing. Start Living.

Are you existing, or are you living? Based on John 6:63.

All those physically alive exist, but not everyone that exists is living. A short word on the difference, and how a person passes from spiritual death to eternal life by faith in Jesus Christ.

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” • John 6:63 (KJV)

Jesus is teaching a truth we can never manufacture on our own: spiritual life is entirely the work of God. We cannot produce eternal life through effort, ritual, good works, or human wisdom. Apart from Christ we are spiritually dead, and only God can make us alive (Ephesians 2:1–5).

The Holy Spirit gives life. The living Word reveals Christ (Romans 10:17). And salvation is “Not of works,” but is received by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9).

The message is simple: God does the saving work. The Father draws us, the Word reveals Christ, the Spirit gives life, and the sinner receives eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16).

We cannot produce spiritual life. The Spirit must give it. The Word reveals it. Christ possesses it. Faith receives Him. And God receives all the glory.
