What does the Bible say about being dead to the world?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are dead to the world through the cross of Christ, meaning worldly values and praises no longer hold significance for them.

The Apostle Paul declares in Galatians 6:14 that through the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, the world is crucified to him and he to the world. This signifies a transformative relationship where the believer no longer finds their identity or worth in worldly accolades or possessions. Instead, they recognize that their highest calling is to be a child of God, where the values of the world–including its honors and riches–hold no lasting value in light of knowing Christ. Believers experience this as they grow in their relationship with Jesus, finding their security and significance rooted in Him, not in the world around them.
