"Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances?"
Col. 2:20
20
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Colossians 2:20)
.
"Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised Him from the dead."
Col. 2:12
12
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. (Colossians 2:12)
.
Many Christians like to dwell on being dead but do not understand being buried; that is, put out of sight and done with. On the contrary, they like to keep "their being dead" in sight, and to exalt themselves for having counted themselves dead. We are not only dead but buried, thank God, and entitled thus to be occupied no longer with our wretched selves but with Christ.
