What does it mean to be children of the resurrection?

Answered in 1 source

Being children of the resurrection means being spiritually alive and inheritors of eternal life through Christ.

To be considered children of the resurrection signifies a profound spiritual truth—believers are resurrected with Christ and share in His eternal life. According to Luke 20:36, those who attain to the resurrection are regarded as equal to angels and cannot die anymore. This transformation reflects our new identity as partakers of divine life, having been justified and made righteous through Christ's sacrifice. This designation also provides assurance of our acceptance in heaven, further affirming the foundational truth that our hope in resurrection is rooted in the work of Christ, not our own merits.
