"For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection."
(Romans 6:5)
The cross represents Death - Death to sin and the law.
The resurrection represents Life - a new life brought about by the abounding grace and love of the Son.
We are covered by His blood. Our old selves have died along with Christ on the cross, and as He resurrected, so have we.
"But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God,
you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification,
and the outcome, eternal life.
For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
(Romans 6:22-23)
For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 5:6-8)
God's love is written all over the Bible.
