What does it mean to be quickened by grace?

Answered in 2 sources

To be quickened by grace means to be made spiritually alive by the Holy Spirit's power, transforming us from death in sin to life in Christ.

Being 'quickened' refers to the spiritual transformation that occurs when a person is made alive in Christ, as articulated in Ephesians 2:5, which states, 'even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ.' This act is solely a result of God's grace, emphasizing that salvation is not something we achieve but a divine gift. The quickening signifies the Holy Spirit's work in regenerating and renewing a believer, enabling them to respond to God's call with faith. This transformation is vital not only for the initial experience of salvation but also in the continued sanctification of the believer's life, where grace continually empowers and sustains them.
