The truth of Scripture is that all men apart from Christ are separated from the life of God. In this teaching, the Apostle Paul reminds believers of their former condition—spiritually dead in their sins—in which they followed the world, the flesh, and Satan, and were deserving of God’s wrath. But God, Who is rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ, saving us entirely by His grace. Through this salvation, believers are raised and seated with Christ in the heavenly places, sharing His life and exalted position. For all eternity, God will display the riches of His grace and limitless kindness to us through Christ Jesus.
