We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Ro 6:4.

Why is the resurrection of Christ described as accomplished "through the glory of the Father"?

It is because "glory" here signifies power, as seen in the resurrection of Lazarus (John 11:40). It's also the Power found in Romans 1:4

The Holy Spirit declared Jesus to the Son of God (with Power) or Immortality = divine nature

The righteousness, or glory, of the Father represented as the power of salvation (Rom 1:16-17) was revealed in His Son, especially in his death to sin and his resurrection to glorified, immortal life.

Therefore, all initiative and authority belonged to the Father, and by His power, Jesus was raised to become the "firstborn" (1 Cor 6:14; 2 Cor 13:4; Eph 1:20; Col 2:12).

Yahweh is glorified when victory over sin and death is accomplished (1 Cor 15:55-57).

Romans 6:10

Though he took on a sinful nature (Rom 8:3), he never sinned, and in doing so, he (and God) condemned "sin" in the flesh, that is, in his own flesh.

But what is the contrast Spiritual?

HE NOW LIVES TO GOD

This contrasts with "died to sin". Having gained the victory over the power of King Sin in his resurrection, 'by the glory of the Father", Christ now lives eternally in the service of his Father "as a priest FOREVER after the order of Melchizedek" (Heb 7:21-24).

22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. Ro 6:22.

Same exp for Jesus as for those found in him.

Eventually, yes, Christ's followers will inherit eternal bodily life. But, right now, His followers are spiritually dead to sin and spiritually alive in Him. If you can't understand that, then you need to ask God for wisdom so that you can (James 1:5-7).

You have no understanding of spiritual things and I feel sorry for you. Ask God for wisdom (James 1:5-7).
