5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
In Ephesians 2:5 the phrase “made us alive together with” is one word in the original Greek manuscripts: συνεζωοποίησεν. “So what?”, you say. Well, I’ll tell you!
The first three letters of the word are a prefix “together with”, in other words, not apart from but united with, joined, together, with, etc. Skip a letter, then the next three mean “alive/enlivened”, the next three mean “to make”, then the last three (among other things) show that the action is completed, point-in-time action.
So what? So, if you have trusted Christ as your Savior, you are part of that little prefix and are *together* with Christ. You are spiritually ALIVE, he made it so in a single instant! If not, please receive Christ today, by grace you are saved IN Christ!
