COMMENTARY

Click on the red scriptures above to view the associated scripture. The two scriptures below add additional context and explanation of this song which is an overview of Jesus’ Gospel to Paul. Also see this week’s Post,
Are You Resurrected and Ascended In Christ? for additional insight into this glorious mystery.

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for the one who has died is freed from sin. Romans 6:4-7

For God rescued us from the domain of Darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14
