What is meant by the "first resurrection" in Revelation 20:5-6?

The first resurrection is our resurrection here from the death of sin—for example, hearing the word of God (John 5:24-25), believing (John 11:25), repenting (Luke 15:32), Baptism (Romans 6:4-5), Communion (John 6:54), and love, which is manifested in good works (1 John 3:14). These are considered the first resurrection.
