Resurrection is not about what happens to a body after it dies. Instead, Paul tells the Christians at Colossae, a small city near Ephesus in what today is Turkey, that their resurrection is a present reality. Faith is dying to life as an everyday, material existence and being born anew in a life marked by hope and love.
This is what Paul means by affirming that Christians live "in Christ." And through their faith, Christians also live "in God."
