Are there any evidences that a person can have of being physically alive? Yes there are... Breathing lungs, a beating heart, and a thinking mind will all be present and active. If any of those three are absent; if the lungs no longer breathe, the heart no longer beats, or the mind no longer thinks, then it cannot be said that the person shows the evidence of life. The same can be said concerning Spiritual life. When Spiritual life is present, The quickening breath of God’s Holy Ghost will be in the soul; faith IN and ON Christ will be in the heart; and a right view of God, man, and salvation will be in the mind.
When a continual, fervent, immediate need for Christ is within a person - the breath of God’s Spirit is in the soul. When Christ becomes a sinner’s only hope, and only desire; when a sinner stops looking to his own works for salvation, and starts looking to Christ’s work on the cross alone - true, saving faith is in the heart. And when a sinner throws out every word but God’s word, and says: “let God be true, and every man a liar” - repentance has come to the mind. When these things are present, God given life has come!
