What does federal headship mean in relation to the resurrection?

Answered in 1 source

Federal headship refers to Christ as the representative for His people, ensuring their resurrection through His victory over death.

Federal headship is a theological concept that defines Christ and Adam as the two representatives of humanity. According to Romans 5:12-21, through Adam's sin, death entered the world, affecting all humanity. Conversely, through Christ's obedience and resurrection, believers can be made alive. As the second Adam, Christ’s victory over death provides assurance that all who are united with Him will also be resurrected to eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:21-22). This understanding encourages believers, knowing that Christ’s triumph ensures their own resurrection and eternal reality with Him.
