Ephesians 2:6 highlights themes such as faith and obedience when read in context.

How should I apply Ephesians 2:6 today?

Read the surrounding passage, compare related cross references, and turn the verse into a short prayer and concrete action.

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
