Ephesians 2:4-5

But God, being (so very) rich in mercy, because of His great and wonderful love with which He loved us, even when we were (spiritually) dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us (spiritually) alive together with Christ.

We have an advantage over the world by being born again and spiritually alive.  We have connected up, and with this connection, we can take advantage of God’s help to avoid worldly pitfalls.  We can talk and fellowship with God and know He cares for us.
