In Christian theology, the First Resurrection refers to the resurrection of the righteous believers who are united with Christ at His second coming. According to Revelation 20:4-6, this resurrection includes those who have died in Christ, often understood as both Old Testament saints who anticipated the Messiah and New Testament believers who passed away before Christ's return[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://biblehub.com/q/what_are_christianity's_two_resurrections.htm?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1")[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://biblical-christianity.com/the-first-and-second-resurrection?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2"). These individuals are described as "blessed and holy" and will reign with Christ during the Millennium[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://biblehub.com/q/what_are_christianity's_two_resurrections.htm?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1")[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://biblical-christianity.com/the-first-and-second-resurrection?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2").


This event provides hope to believers, as those who participate in the First Resurrection are spared from the "second death," which signifies eternal separation from God[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://biblehub.com/q/what_are_christianity's_two_resurrections.htm?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1")[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://biblical-christianity.com/the-first-and-second-resurrection?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2"). It's a cornerstone of Christian eschatology, emphasizing the promise of eternal life for the faithful.
