How do we know that believers are alive to God?

Romans 6:11 states that just as Christ lives unto God after His resurrection, believers are to reckon themselves as alive unto God as well. This truth rests on the assurance of Christ’s resurrection, which demonstrates His victory over sin and death. Christians are not just passively alive; they are called to actively live unto God, empowered by the Spirit. The assurance of being alive to God is rooted deeply in what Christ has accomplished, rather than in personal efforts or feelings.
