Ephesians 2:4-7

Made Alive by Grace and Made One in Christ

Paul moves from spiritual death to resurrection life by grace, then from covenant alienation to reconciled unity in Christ's one new people.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

4But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!

6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
