Col 1:18 What does it mean that Christ is the firstborn from the dead?

This means that Christ is the first to be resurrected from the dead to enter into eternal life and immortality of the body (CP Ac 26:23; 1Cor 15:20-23; Rev 1:5).

The fact that Christ is the firstborn from the dead confirms the subsequent resurrection of all those who have died in Him (CP Isa 26:19; Dan 12:2; Jn 5:28-29; 1Cor 15:51-58; 1Th 4:13-18).
