What does being 'with Christ' mean?

Answered in 1 source

Being 'with Christ' means being in union with Him by faith, acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior.

To be 'with Christ' signifies complete alignment and unity with Him. As spoken in Luke 11:23, there is no neutrality in following Christ; one is either with Him or opposed to Him. This relationship entails a total surrender and acceptance of His authority in our lives. Being 'with Christ' involves an ongoing faith that is characterized by love, obedience, and a desire to gather souls for His kingdom. It emphasizes the necessity of being transformed by grace through faith in His finished work.
