Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
When a young friend of mine became discouraged about the smallness of her love for God, I asked her, “Before you were saved, how much did it bother you that you didn’t love God?”
She laughed. “It didn’t bother me at all. I never even thought about Him.” She was in the night of the living dead. Like a zombie, never knowing that she was spiritually dead, when there was no response to God.

Hi I had an experience of what I felt, spiritual death. The spirit of my heart melted and died, I remember being angry and dispite knowing the consequences of blasphemy I spoke against the holy spirit then I felt myself die inside. Am I really dead?
Hi Daniel~
All of us are spiritually dead unless/until we are made alive by the Holy Spirit of God. If you are spiritually dead, the solution is to cry out to Him to make you spiritually alive. Continue in the written Word of God so that you can see the Living Word of God, Jesus Christ. Blessings to you, my friend!
