God said to me, "Mortal man, prophesy to the wind. Tell the wind that the Sovereign LORD commands it to come from every direction, to breathe into these dead bodies, and to bring them back to life."

So I prophesied as I had been told. Breath entered the bodies, and they came to life and stood up. There were enough of them to form an army.

I will put my breath in them, bring them back to life, and let them live in their own land. Then they will know that I am the LORD. I have promised that I would do this---and I will. I, the LORD, have spoken."

Then the LORD God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live.

When you turn away, they are afraid; when you take away your breath, they die and go back to the dust from which they came.

But when you give them breath, they are created; you give new life to the earth.

Then he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit, which brings us life in union with Christ Jesus, has set me free from the law of sin and death.

that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God's grace that you have been saved.
