How do we know if we are risen with Christ?

The assurance that we are risen with Christ is evidenced through our faith in Him. Colossians 3:1 implies that if we are truly in Christ, we will seek heavenly things and reflect His character. This transformation of heart and mind is a mark of regeneration — God’s work in us that enables us to believe and trust fully in Him. It is a profound change that acknowledges Christ as our life and salvation. Therefore, examining our belief in Him and the fruit produced in our lives confirms our standing as those who have been made alive with Christ.
