Answer Details
In Paul's Epistle to the Romans, to die with Christ and rise with Him means to walk in the newness of life.

Thus, they are no longer slaves to sin but are now alive to God and can live a new life in Him. This new life is characterized by obedience to God's will, freedom from the power of sin, and the hope of eternal life in the kingdom of God.
