What does the Bible say about quickening together with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are quickened together with Christ, meaning they are made alive spiritually through His grace.

Ephesians 2:5 states, 'Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ.' This quickening refers to the new birth, accomplished by the Holy Spirit, making believers alive through the power of Christ's resurrection. Salvation is wholly a work of God's grace and mercy, with no merit attributed to the individual. The term 'quickened' emphasizes our spiritual renewal and union with Christ, affirming that just as Christ was raised, we, too, are raised to new life in Him. This foundational truth highlights the grace of God that is at the heart of the Gospel, reveling in the mercy that saves those who are unable to save themselves.
