What role does the resurrection play in our daily Christian life?

In the everyday life of a believer, the resurrection impacts both our identity and practice. Colossians 3:1-3 emphasizes that having been raised with Christ, we should seek heavenly things and set our minds above. This resurrection life is characterized by ongoing sanctification, as believers are called to mortify their members on earth (Colossians 3:5), participating in an ongoing process of becoming more like Christ. The resurrection assures believers of their ultimate glorification and motivates a pursuit of holiness, as the power of the resurrection continues to work within them, enabling them to live in conformity to Christ's image.
