Verses 10, 11

The Spirit presents to us another aspect of this work in contrast with the thought of any labor on our part, in order to obtain this glory. We are, inasmuch as we partake of that, His work, created by God. The works of man are excluded from it; ourselves are His workmanship..1s it then that works are left, and by the Christian? No: they have their place; we are created for good works which God has before prepared (for all is of Him), that we should walk in them: they are not the works of the law, that the man which does them should live by them; but God having created in us this new and heavenly nature, has before prepared works; a walk suitable to them. The consequence of this work of Christ is, not only that we are created anew for this heavenly position; but, moreover, it sets us here below in order to make manifest His power. These two great blessings flow from our being considered by God, as being really the body of Christ; that is to say, that we are possessors of the same glory there above, and that we are the dwelling of God here below. The Church will be the fullness of Christ in glory, when all things will be subjected to Him; while waiting for it she ought to manifest the power of Christ in this world.
Such is then the order, the ensemble, and the effect of this work of power wrought out by grace, according to the rich mercy of God, which has set us in the heavenly places in Christ, as the body of Christ; the fullness of urn that filleth All in All; for it is no longer question of Jew or Gentile, but of spiritual blessings for those who are quickened and raised up together with Christ, according to the exceeding riches of that grace which has set the sinner in the same glory as the Son of God. What ought we not to be, since we have been made partakers of such privileges; and that according to this great love with which God has loved us?
