Our resurrection has already taken place and is fully tied up with the resurrection of Christ, and therefore proceeds from it more by way of manifestation of what has already taken place, than as new effect resulting from it. That is why the New Testament speaks so astonishingly of our having already tasted the powers of the age to come (Hebrews 6:5), for in Christ we are already living 'in the end time'. Through Christ the very fullness (plērōma) of God, which resides in him, already overflows to us (Col. 2: 9–10).
