What changes in our lives when we pass from death to life in Christ?

Paul Carrington discusses the transformation that occurs in a person's life when they move from death to life, a shift marked by a profound increase in love. This love is not limited to the church and fellow believers, but extends to all people, with a strong desire for those outside the church to come to know the Lord. The believer's interactions with family and the world grow in love, and their life begins to revolve around Christ, where previously it may have revolved around self and sin.

This new life is not just marked by love for others, but also by a deepening relationship with Christ. There is a noticeable increase in prayer and Bible reading, and a clear shift in focus from self to Christ. The believer's life, once centered around self and sin, now orbits around Christ, a shift brought about by the transformative power of Christ's love and grace.
