Lesson 20 : God Makes Alive and Raises Up Dead Sinners by Grace  (2:4-6)

Form and Structure of 2:1-10  –  How does 2:1-10 relate to 1:15-23?  –  The God wroth with sin is a God of grace  –  God is ‘abundantly rich’ with mercy  –  Agape love  –  Emphatic contrast between being dead in transgressions and being made alive  –  Made alive ‘together with’ and raised up ‘together with’ and seated ‘together with’  –  Although believers are seated with Christ, His position is still unique  –  Believers have access to the risen Christ  –  When were believers ‘made alive together with Christ’?
