One who has been raised again / Ephesians 2:1-6

Second, even if it is not a case of being revived after being dead, a person who has experienced going to life just before death and being resurrected
Let's take a look at the life changes that happen to you.

Not only do I feel a sense of relief, but I also feel a joy and thrill that cannot be compared with anything else. Although the joy
Even if the emotion doesn't last, when I recall the event, the emotion of that time comes back to life.
Of course, if you think about the true meaning of death in Christ, it is counterproductive that you have passed the threshold of death
