• It was not only that man by sin lost natural life, but he lost God; and it is not only that Christ gives me now a new and better life than the tree of life could give, but He gives me God. (“Remarks on Ephesians 2:4-10” by W. Kelly)
• He would not say that He quickened Christ absolutely. It is always qualified somehow, because Christ was life Himself. (“Remarks on Ephesians 2:4-10” by W. Kelly)
• And we have been quickened with the Christ—not merely quickened, but with Him. Quickening has always been true from the beginning; for man—irrespective of dispensational differences—needs to be born again to enter into the kingdom of God; but association in life with Christ was not thus developed until He died and rose. Is not this what He alluded to in John 10? "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (“Meditations on Ephesians 2: Part 1”)
• Jews and Gentiles are found together in the same new position in Christ. Resurrection has put an end to all those distinctions; they have no place in a risen Christ. God has quickened the one and the other with Christ. (“Ephesians 2” by J.N. Darby)
• In Ephesians death is the very first place where we find even Christ. Not a word is said of sending Him into the world, or of His life and labors there, any more than of our doing this or being that. The first place where Christ is seen is in the grave whence God according to the mightiest action of His almighty power raised Him up. (“Ephesians 2” by W. Kelly)
