What does it mean to be risen with Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

Being risen with Christ means believers have been spiritually resurrected to new life and are called to seek heavenly things.

The phrase 'risen with Christ' signifies the believer's spiritual resurrection, an essential aspect of Christian faith. In Colossians 3:1, Paul urges believers to seek things that are above, pointing to a transformed identity that is now aligned with Christ. This new life involves a shift in focus from earthly concerns to eternal realities, reflecting the believer's union with Christ in His death and resurrection. Acknowledging that one's life is hidden in Christ fosters an understanding of living in accordance with His will and allowing His life to manifest through their actions. This emphasis on not only the positional change but also the practical aspect of seeking heavenly things is crucial for a faithful Christian walk.
