Do you know me?
There are those who have a life they never live. They have come to Christ and thanked Him only for what He did, but do not live in the power of who He is. Between the Jesus who "was" and the Jesus who "will be" they live in a spiritual vacuum, trying with no little zeal to live for Christ a life that only He can live in and through them, perpetually begging for what in Him they already have!
We don't necessarily recognize these people as hurting. On the outside, they may be smiling, repeating the usual Christian cliches, and performing the expected church functions. But inside, they know they are putting on an act. They would love to be free of the burden. They deeply desire to share their fears, pains and doubts, but don't for fear of being condemned. So they suffer their own silent condemnation, wondering if God will ever find it in His heart to accept them.-Major Ian Thomas

These I would call Dead Immortals, to be given life in Christ but to continue to live as dead men live.
