How does faith relate to being risen with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the means through which believers are united with Christ's resurrection, experiencing a new life that empowers them to seek heavenly things.

Faith plays a crucial role in the believer's experience of the resurrection. It is through faith that individuals recognize their spiritual death and subsequent life in Christ. This new life enables them to seek and aspire towards heavenly things, as urged in Colossians 3:1. The resurrection life of Christ is not merely a concept; it requires active faith that manifests in the believer's desire for righteousness and communion with God. Consequently, genuine faith results in transformed affections and priorities, propelling believers to live in accordance with their new identity in Christ.
