2 Corinthians 5:5

2 Corinthians 5:5. Now he that hath wrought us, &c.— "To these noble views and sublime desires." This is a most emphatical manner of speaking; not only asserting that God is the author of it, but ascribing Deity to the author. As if he had said, "None but God could have raised us to such a temper." The Spirit is frequently mentioned as the pledge and earnest of immortality; more particularly Ephesians 1:13-14.
