 and come short to the glory of God. This verse places all humanity in the same condition. The lost sinner who is not in a saving relationship with Jesus Christ is dead in trespasses and sin. In other words, they are dead even while they live. They're walking dead. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. One writer said you're twice dead, plucked up by the roots. Lord, have mercy. Jesus.
