Romans 6:5
What is written? (ESV)
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
What does it say?
If we have been united with Christ in a death like His, then we will also be united with Him in/by a resurrection like His.
What is its immediate context?
Paul is making the broader point of the richness and fullness of God’s grace toward sinful man (chap 5) before turning to man’s response (and responsibility) for salvation. He states the absurdity of continuing “in sin” (vs 1) because they killed off their old self through baptism (vs 3).
How Romans 6:5 is applied across Bible answers
Is Christmas a religious holiday?
True Christians are individuals who have been joined to Christ's death, and only then are they assured of a "resurrection like His".
Paul explains the "death" and "resurrection" he's referring to in the previous verse where he states, "We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." (vs 4)
Will there be a physical bodily resurrection?
Our resurrection will be like Jesus'.6
