Romans 6:4

We also should walk in newness of life; for our death with Christ to sin implies our resurrection with Christ to God, which is to us a new life of holiness. See on verses Ro 6:10,11.

Ephesians 1:19-20

To us-ward who believe; manifested towards us who believe, not merely in this life, but also in that to come. The exercise of this power extends over the whole work of the believer's redemption, from his calling and the quickening of his soul in regeneration to his final glorification in heaven. Which he wrought in Christ; as our head. God manifests in the redemption of Christ's members the same divine power which he exercised in Christ their head. The greatness of power and grace of God manifested when he leads men to believe on Christ, and raises them from spiritual death to spiritual life, should fill them with adoring gratitude, and bind them for ever in cheerful and hearty obedience to his will.

Ephesians 2:1

Quickened; made alive.

Dead in trespasses and sins; it is a living death which the apostle describes. They were dead to God and holiness, and alive to this world and fleshly lust. They lived in trespasses and sins, and this is spiritual death.

Ephesians 2:5-6

Together with Christ; as God raised Christ from the dead in behalf of his people and as their surety, so they, by virtue of their union with him, had been raised from spiritual death, which is the pledge of their future union with Christ in the resurrection of the body also to a glorious immortality. Raised us up together--made us sit together; that is, together with Christ, as in the preceding verse.

In heavenly places; see note to chap Eph 1:3.

In Christ Jesus; all this takes place in and through our union with Christ.
