“even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)”
Ephesians 2:5 KJV
Paul gives us the mystery of grace, of how grace rescued us: while we were yet in that state of deadness and indifference in our deviations, we were co-quickened together with Christ! We had nothing to do with it. Grace freed us, once and for all from the lies we believed about ourselves under the performance-driven system, and now defines our authentic identity! We had no contribution to our salvation! God’s master-plan unfolded in the mystery of the Gospel, declaring our joint inclusion in Christ’s death and resurrection. This is the mystery of grace God reveals in Christ! Now we may know, even as we have always been known! Of God’s doing are we in Christ! God saw us in Christ, in His death and resurrection, before we saw ourselves there! Glory to God!
