Jn 5:24
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
All, everyone for whom Christ died, before they die, or the Second Coming, because of the Merits of His Death, shall pass from death to life; They having Him as their Last Adam 1 Cor 15:45
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was madea quickening spirit.
Yes they were in the Last Adam before they were in the First man Adam, and so they must have Divine Life communicated to them, then because of Him and through Him they are passed from death to life.
They must have this Life given or communicated to them because He as their Shepherd they must hear His Voice.
The Elect / Sheep are given Spiritual and Eternal Life in order to qualify them, make them meet for the Call of the Gospel, which call is a Divine summon to the Fellowship of Christ, which Paul means here 1 Cor 1:9
9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
But it is only a quickened soul that is worthy or made meet to fellowship with Christ, for Christ is Light , but a unquickened soul is darkness Eph 5:8
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
And what fellowship and communion can Light have with darkness 2 Cor 6:14
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
The Gospel cannot call an unrighteous, unholy person into the Fellowship of an open marriage yoke with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Why would the Gospel sent by God call unholy and unsanctified people, dead in sins, in the darkness of nature to the Feloowship of His Son who is Light ? Why would He draw such to His Son Jn 6:37,44 who is Light ? Paul said to soe jews this:
Acts 13:46
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthyof everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
They were unworthy in that they had not passed from death to life, they had no Divine Life in them worthy of Fellowship with the Son 1 Cor 1:9
9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
To be made worthy we must be passed from death to Life Col 1:12
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
