Notes

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him: Because of this union, believers share in God's glory and blessings. They experience resurrection both now and in the future (see Romans 6:4–14; Colossians 2:12–13; 3:1–4).

By God's mercy, kindness, and love, those united with Jesus Christ are saved from the terrible consequences of their sin and enjoy the benefits of Christ's resurrection.

Paul thinks about how difficult life was for the believers before they found Christ. He appreciates God's grace for saving them.
