Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. — Faith (πιστεύω, pisteuō) grasps the historical Christ-event and applies it existentially to the believer; the future tense indicates both present pledge and certain hope. Living with Christ is not merely post-mortem but present fellowship in his risen life, already anticipated in baptism and the Spirit.
