We are given life by the breath or Spirit of God. God breathed life into Adam's nostrils (Gen. 2:7). Ezekiel, after he prophesied over the dry bones, first saw muscle and flesh cover them over but it wasn't until God breathed on them (v.10) that they were resurrected and received life. A body simply doesn't have life without the breath or Spirit of God.Being dead because of sin, we were quickened or given a new life of righteousness by the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead (Rom. 8:11). Our "dry bones" were resurrected by the Spirit of God who now dwells in us making us forever free from the law of sin and death. The Spirit (Rom. 8:10) gives us life!
