Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ephesians 2:4

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved).Dead through our trespasses ... "This describes the existing state from which we were made alive with Christ."[15] The same thought is in Romans 5:10 where our being enemies was the existing state from which we were reconciled to God.By grace have ye been saved ...

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ephesians 2:6

And raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus.Raised us up with him ...

How astounding are the comments which would make... read more

Ephesians 2:6. And hath raised us up, &c.— What the Apostle here says, does not merely signify our being raised to the hope of pardon and glory by the resurrection and ascension of Christ, but seems to refer to that union which there is between him and all true believers; byvirtue of which they may look onhis resurrection, ascension, and glory, as a pledge and security of something of a similar nature, to be accomplished in due time in and upon them, if faithful unto death. Thus we are... read more

This was the special ground of God's saving us; as "rich in mercy" (compare Ephesians 2:7; Ephesians 1:7; Romans 2:4; Romans 10:12) was the general ground. "Mercy takes away misery; love confers salvation" [BENGEL]. read more
