How does the concept of representation in resurrection work?

Answered in 1 source

In the resurrection, believers are represented by Christ, ensuring their eternal life because of His work.

The concept of representation in resurrection is rooted in the belief that Christ acts as a representative for His elect. Romans 5:19 highlights that 'by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.' This means that through Christ's obedience and subsequent resurrection, all those chosen by God are likewise guaranteed resurrection and the gift of eternal life. This represents a vital union with Him, ensuring that as He was raised, all believers will also be raised to eternal glory.
