       Next, in verse 3, Paul gives us the reasoning behind all of this. “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (ESV). The longtime Christian should be familiar with the concept as having died with Christ. Paul talked about this with the Roman believers, namely in the famous chapter 6. If we go over there, we read the following: “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 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” (Romans 6:3-4, ESV). So, we see the call then—the call, is to “walk in newness of life.” “Newness of life.” It’s how our lives in Christ should look. This seems to be what Paul is making reference to when he brings up in our verse here, in Colossians 3, of having our lives “hidden with Christ in God.”
