Is spiritual death separation from God?
Man's existence contradicts the purpose of his creation; because there is no being in the heavens or on earth that has life in itself, is alive by its own power and will, and is capable of enduring by its own capabilities. God alone is eternally living, and He is, as the Holy Scriptures say, "the Being," while we are the image of this Being. Therefore, the separation is only from our side. It began with us and remains in us through the rejection of commandments and the pursuit of power that does not know love and is not motivated by humility—that is, the very life of Satan, whose life died when he wanted to become like God without God.
Here we must realize that the separation is only from our side, and that God did not separate His life from us. Rather, He preserved for us the grace of existence, and in the words of the Apostle, "For in him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28), awaiting the time of renewal. We must not misunderstand this matter so as not to fall into despair; because God did not abandon us. He sent prophets for our sake, gave the Law, and revealed His righteousness to humanity by allowing the internal law to prompt them to seek God their Creator. This is something we see even in the worship of non-Christians, which is a form of searching and seeking the Creator, even if this search is covered by a corruption of perception.
What are the signs of separation from God, and are they spiritual death?
The signs of separation are:
First: A person's ignorance of their Creator, especially His goodness and love.
Second: The ignorance and presumption inherent in the heart that man is the source of his own life, and that food is the source of his existence. This is what the Lord Jesus warned us against when He forbade us from being concerned about what we eat or what we wear, and other things we think are the source of our life (Matthew 6:26-32). When He directed the heart's attention to God's care for all creatures, like the lilies of the field and the birds of the air, He was revealing man's ignorance of God, which is the first sign of spiritual death; because this false self-sufficiency is the source of pride. If God is the source of our life, why do we become arrogant? What is the authority within us that makes us decide the destinies of other people?
Third: The belief that "transgression" leads us to a better existence and a better life that gives it growth.
Fourth: Doubting the wisdom of God's commandments, considering them weakness and ignorance, and believing that the good man determines for himself is better than the good that comes from communion. At the same time, choosing good and evil according to the desires and vanity of the heart is "transgression."
Do you want to know more? I will tell you very briefly, in one phrase: Spiritual death is Hell, and Hell is a human life captured for disparate and scattered purposes that do not grow, do not see, and do not taste what is beyond the body, or beyond these fragmented goals that tear the human being apart.
