How do we know that a believer's life is hidden in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

A believer's life is considered hidden in Christ as demonstrated by their faith in His redemptive work and their identification with Him (Colossians 3:3).

The concept of a believer's life being hidden in Christ is rooted in the truth of our salvation and identity. Colossians 3:3 states, 'For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.' When one places their faith in Christ, they are spiritually united with Him in His death and resurrection, which affirms their new identity as a child of God. This hidden life means that believers find security in their relationship with Christ, as their sins are covered by His sacrifice and their future is assured in Him. As Paul’s declaration in Philippians highlights, the essence of living is Christ, and this union transforms every aspect of the believer's life, both now and eternally.
