What does it mean to be quickened together with Christ?

Answered in 3 sources

To be quickened together with Christ means that believers are made alive in the same divine act that raised Christ, signifying their union with Him in His resurrection (Ephesians 2:5-6).

Being quickened together with Christ encapsulates the essence of the believer’s union with Christ in His death and resurrection. As Paul articulates in Ephesians 2:5-6, this means that just as Christ was raised from physical death, believers are spiritually raised from their state of sin and death. This spiritual quickening signifies an inseparable connection between Christ's victory over death and the believer's new life. It emphasizes the grace of God that not only revives the dead soul but also elevates the believer to a position of spiritual authority and inheritance in Christ, facilitating a new life characterized by holiness and a relationship with God.
