Christ Quickens the Morally Dead
Rowland Hill, M. A. Ephesians 2:1 And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;… I remember once conversing with a celebrated sculptor, who had been hewing out a block of marble to represent one of our great patriots — Lord Chatham. "There," said he, "is not that a fine form?" "Now, sir," said I, "can you put life into it: Else, with all its beauty, it is still but a block of marble." Christ, by His Spirit, puts life into a beauteous image, and enables the man He forms to live to His praise and glory. (Rowland Hill, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; WEB: You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
