What does the first resurrection mean in Christian theology?

Answered in 1 source

The first resurrection signifies the spiritual rebirth of believers through faith in Jesus Christ.

In Reformed theology, the first resurrection refers to the spiritual resurrection from death to life thatOccurs when a person is saved by grace through faith in Christ (Revelation 20:6). This event illustrates the transformation of believers who, while they were dead in trespasses and sins, are made alive through the Gospel. It also connects to Christ's resurrection, where He triumphs over sin and death (Romans 6:4). The first resurrection assures believers that they will not face the second death but will partake in eternal life with Christ, ruling and reigning with Him. It highlights the hope and reality of new life that believers experience both now and in the age to come.
