Ephesians 2:6 74nd hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
We sinned against God in the Garden of Eden and the wages of sin is death. The penalty of our sin is death. We fell from dignity to reproach and shame. Man must die for his sin. He needed a substitute to die in his stead, or else he must die. Death is separation from God and all that comes from Him for sustenance. Man's Substitute must be man, because it was man that sinned, and it is man that must be punished for sin. But all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There is none righteous, so who then will bear man's sin amongst men because another sinner cannot bear the sin of man. Man needed an impeccable substitute. The Word of God, who in the beginning was God, and by whom all things were made, came into the world and was incarnated, the Word was made flesh, and we call Him Jesus Christ the righteous and holy Son of God. Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus came to reinstate us to dignity and honour.
When God raised Jesus Christ from death, He raised us up together with Him. That is one of the beauty of the Finished Works of Jesus Christ in His substitutionary work for humanity.
Mark 16:17-18: And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;
They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well.
When Jesus died on the Cross, it was our death that He died, seeing He is our Substitute; and when He was raised from death, it was our resurrection. Also the Bible tells us that God has raised us up together with Jesus Christ and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We are reigning with Christ in heavenly places. The heavenly place is far above everything and every name that is mentioned in this world and in that which is to come. Everyone in Christ has been given dominion in the Name of Jesus Christ. We exercise dominion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mark 16:17 tells us that we shall cast out devils in the Name of Jesus Christ, and we shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. As Christians, you have been dignified in Christ and You are no longer in the low places of life. You are reigning in heavenly place with God.
