Quickened By The Word

Lot was a good example of being quickened by God's warning, so that he was quickened by God's word.

One might reply the word quickened isn't used in Lot's case. Yet the principle of being quickened by God's word is very openly taught in scripture.

Psa 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Psa 119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

I think it is clear in Ephesians 2 Paul was not teaching the Augustinian/protestant concept of regeneration, but was teaching quickening through God's word.
