What does it mean to be dead to the world according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Being dead to the world means that Christians are no longer influenced by its values, as their true life is hidden with Christ in God.

In Colossians 3:3, the Apostle Paul explains that believers are 'dead' to the influences of this world because our true lives are hidden with Christ in God. This concept signifies a separation from worldly concerns, allowing us to live in the reality of our new identity. It does not imply a physical removal from earthly life but rather a spiritual detachment from its temptations and fears. As we embrace this truth, we find security and purpose in our relationship with Christ, who provides everything we need as we await our glorification.
