# While we were dead in trespasses, he made us alive together in Christ
|
|

# by grace you have been saved

# God raised us up together with Christ, and God made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

Just as he already raised Christ, he will raise us up too, and we will be with Christ in heaven.
