Colossians 3:4

"For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

Key Reflection

This verse signifies that believers are spiritually dead to sin and alive to righteousness through their union with Christ. Just as Christ’s death brought about a new life in God, so too are Christians united with Christ's redemptive work, hiding their old selves and being transformed into new creations.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 4. When Christ, who is our life. See Barnes "Joh 1:4"; See Barnes "Joh 11:25". Shall appear. In the day when he shall come to judge the world. Then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 1 Th 4:16,17. Christians shall then be raised from the dead, and ascend with the Redeemer to heaven. {b} "who is our life" Joh 11:25; 14:6 __________________________________________________________________
