According to Ephesians 2, those who are quickened are the elect, chosen before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4).
Ephesians 2:1-6 speaks to the specific group who is quickened—those whom God has chosen and predestined to be His own. As Paul writes, 'He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love' (Ephesians 1:4). This predestined group, referred to as the saints and faithful in Christ Jesus, represents the elect who will experience God's quickening power. It's important to understand that this quickening is exclusive to the elect, as Christ's death was for His people, solidifying the assurance that they are the ones God will bring to life through His grace.
