The Resurrection Is a Spiritual Reality

Paul is enlightened because of his baptism. Paul refers to the believers over and over again as you know as the saints. And so in Romans, for example, chapter six, he's going to talk about how in baptism, we die to ourselves and we rise to new life in Christ. So whatever old sins you've been attached to, whatever difficulties you've encountered in the spiritual life, we can die to those things that have held us back from God.
