God quickens His people out of love and mercy, according to His own will and purpose (Ephesians 2:4).
The act of quickening by God is rooted in His love and mercy toward His elect. Ephesians 2:4 expresses this clearly, stating, 'But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ.' This reveals that God's motivation for quickening is grounded in His nature—He does so according to His grace and for His glory, rather than because of any merit from those being quickened. It highlights the unconditional and sovereign love of God, which drives His redemptive plan. Quickening is not a reaction to human actions but a predetermined act of grace toward those whom God has chosen.
