Sin and death no longer have power. 2) God's love deeply calls the author to follow and take Christ's life as their own. Christ has risen victoriously from the dead. The author runs toward the marvelous light, out of darkness and shame, finding truth and life in Christ. 3) The author's dead heart now beats life, their stains are cleansed by God's breath filling their lungs.
