Ephesians 2:1
The Church Redeemed in Christ
SUMMARY OF EPHESIANS 2: Our Spiritual Condition in a State of Nature.
God's Saving Mercy. Salvation by Grace Through Faith. No Longer
Aliens and Strangers. Peace Between Jew and Gentile Through Christ.
All Built into the Lord's Holy Temple.
And you [hath he quickened]. In Ephesians 1:19-23, Paul has described
the mighty working of the Divine power in raising Christ from the dead,
and his exaltation to the right hand of God. He now turns from this
mighty exhibition of power to another not less striking--the
resurrection of those who were spiritually dead to a new and holy life.
Who were dead in trespasses and sins. Spiritual death is meant. By
their trespasses and sins they were separated from God. To be without
God is to be in death. Trespasses are thought to refer to breaking
known laws; sins, to the corrupt state which leads to a constantly
sinful life.
