Strong's Lexicon suzóopoieó: To make alive together, to quicken together Original Word: συζωοποιέω Word Origin: From the combination of σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and ζῳοποιέω (zóopoieó, meaning "to make alive" or "to quicken"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συζωοποιέω, the concept of being made alive or quickened can be related to Hebrew terms like חָיָה (chayah, Strong's H2421), which means "to live" or "to revive." Usage: The verb συζωοποιέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of being made alive together with Christ. It signifies a spiritual resurrection or revitalization that believers experience through their union with Jesus. This term emphasizes the transformative power of Christ's resurrection, which extends to those who are in Him, bringing them from spiritual death to life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of life and death was often understood in physical terms. However, the New Testament writers, influenced by Jewish thought, expanded this understanding to include spiritual dimensions. The idea of being "made alive together" with Christ would have been revolutionary, offering hope of eternal life and a new spiritual reality. This concept was particularly significant in the context of early Christian communities, who faced persecution and needed assurance of their spiritual inheritance and identity in Christ.
