Never let anyone convince you that we can add anything to our salvation. We are dead in our sins until the Spirit of God breathes spiritual life back into us. But this death is described by the bible as a living death. Following the ways of this world. Following Satan, and having him at work in your life.
Spiritual death is an active death.
It involves following the ways of this world. And as a consequence all of us were under God's wrath. There are only two kinds of people in the world. Those who are alive in Christ and those who are dead in their sins. Verses 4 to 10 describe the second kind of person - the follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.
