Verses 4-7

The Apostle has shown where all men were; he has done away with all distinction, by spewing what the nature was which was common to them all; and has brought all men to the same level, by bringing down the Jews through the lusts of the flesh to the same level morally as the Gentile, whom the Jew despised. Such was man in himself; Jew or Gentile. But God who is rich in Mercy, when we (for all, Jew or Gentile, are now taken together) were dead in our trespasses and in our sins, God has quickened us together with Christ. If the sin of their common nature united them all in the same position before God, his grace has set them with Christ, quickened together with him, and thus together also as to one another. The resurrection unites in one in blessing those whom sin had really put far off from God. Thus God had raised up together, and made sit together' in the heavenly places in Christ, believers whether from among the Jews or the Gentiles. Thus the Church enjoyed the fullness of blessedness in Christ, according to the power of the resurrection and the ascension by which God had set Christ at His right hand in heaven. Sin united sinners down here in one common misery; grace has raised them to one peculiar and common glory, according to the power which had raised up Christ to this glory from the grave.
But if children of wrath, if thieves and Mary Magdalenes are found in the same glory as that conferred on the Son of God as the reward of His service here below; if even we ourselves are found -Participating in it, it is in order that God may spew, in tie ages to come, the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness towards us by Christ Jesus. When angels and principalities see a poor sinner and the whole Church in the same glory as the Son of God, they will understand as much as it is possible for them to understand of the exceeding riches of the grace which has set them there.
Verses 8, 9.
All is the gift of God. It was not even through works that we had part in this glorious salvation, but by faith, and that again the gift of God, that no man might boast. The gory of such a grace must all turn back again to God. He will make us understand that we are, indeed, blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. What could we have more, than to partake in the glory and the inheritance of Christ himself, according to the power which has set him there. So we see that the portion and position of the Church are heavenly. It is inasmuch as dead and risen with Christ from the dead, that she enjoys all His privileges. It is there, above, that she enjoys them. She is heavenly by the very fact of her existence.
