And God raised us up with Christ This phrase emphasizes the believer's spiritual resurrection, paralleling Christ's physical resurrection. In the context of Ephesians, Paul is addressing the transformation from spiritual death to life. This concept is rooted in the idea of being born again, as seen in John 3:3. Theologically, it signifies the believer's new identity and status in Christ. The resurrection of Christ is a pivotal event in Christian doctrine, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies such as Psalm 16:10 and Isaiah 53:10-12.

Unity with Christ Our spiritual union with Christ is foundational to our identity and empowers us to live out our faith. Assurance of Salvation This verse provides assurance of our salvation and eternal security, as our position in Christ is secure.Verse 6. - And hath raised us up with him (comp. Philippians 3:10); so that we no longer walk "according to the course of this world," but according to the life of Christ; we walk "in newness of life." And seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. As God placed Jesus at his right hand in heaven, so he has placed his people with him in heavenly places; i.e. places where the privileges of heaven are dispensed, where the air of heaven is breathed, where the fellowship and the enjoyment of heaven are known, where an elevation of spirit is experienced as if heaven were begun. Such was the case of the three disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration; of the two on the way to Emmaus, when their heart burned within them; of the beloved disciple when he was "in the Spirit on the Lord's day;" of many at the Holy Supper, or in fervent communion with brother and sister believers, when they seem at the very gate of heaven. This is sometimes the experience at conversion, but the vividness of the feeling does not always abide. The repetition of "in Christ Jesus" in this connection emphasizes the fact that this gracious proceeding of God towards us is in immediate connection with the work and person of Christ. It is as being one with Christ Jesus that all this raising up comes to us. Parallel Commentaries ... Greek Andκαὶ (kai) Conjunction Strong's 2532: And, even, also, namely.
