What does the Bible say about being risen with Christ?

Answered in 17 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are spiritually risen with Christ through their union with Him, signifying their sharing in His death, burial, and resurrection.

According to the doctrine of union with Christ, believers are considered to be resurrected with Him spiritually. This truth is articulated in Colossians 3:1, which states, 'If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above.' This indicates that through faith and regeneration, believers are united with Jesus in His death and resurrection, making them partakers of the new life He offers. This spiritual resurrection signifies a transformation from death in sin to life in Christ, as seen in John 6:37, where Christ affirms that all whom the Father gives Him will come to Him.
