What does it mean to be 'alive in Christ'?

To be 'alive in Christ' means that through faith, a believer has been made spiritually alive, resulting in a new identity and relationship with Jesus. In Ephesians 2:1, we learn that believers were once dead in their sins but have been 'quickened' together with Christ. This signifies that in Christ’s resurrection, believers also share in the newness of life, experiencing transformation and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. Being alive in Christ is not just about having eternal life; it also means living in obedience and fellowship with Him, reflecting His glory in the world.
