God quickens us together with Christ !

[beloved57]

God quickens us together with Christ !

Eph 2:5

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)

All for whom Christ, were quickened together with Christ, meaning when He was quickened from the dead, or made alive from the dead, so were they for whom He died. In the principal of Headship representation [like man in Adam] when Christ was made alive from the dead after having died for the sins of many [Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;], the many for whom sins He died were made alive with Him.

This ensures, makes sure and certain the making alive personally of everyone for whom He died. Thats why Peter wrote 1 Pet 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Believers had been first begotten again through the Resurrection of Christ from the dead. This being begotten again is proof, evidence that we were represented by Christ our Surety Head when He was made alive from the dead after having died for our sins. If we are never begotten again by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, then He did not for our sins, and we were never quickened together with Him, its as simple as that !

Believers had been first begotten again through the Resurrection of Christ from the dead. This being begotten again is proof, evidence that we were represented by Christ our Surety Head when He was made alive from the dead after having died for our sins.

What Christ did by His death and resurrection was to undo what Satan had enticed Adam to do; sin and die.
Because God became one with mankind in the incarnation, He was able to destroy the power of death which comes to all mankind because of sin. Now, all of mankind will be raised from the dead and will never again physically die.
Where each person spends eternity depends on whether they believed and obeyed God or not. (John 5:28-29; Ro 6:2-10; Mat 25:31-46)
Being "begotten again" or "born again" or "regenerated" is accomplished in baptism when we are buried with Christ in His death and raised again to new life in Christ. (Ro 6:3-5)
