Colossians 3:3
_ _ The Greek aorist tense implies, “For ye have died once for all” (Colossians 2:12; Romans 6:4-7). It is not said, Ye must die practically to the world in order to become dead with Christ; but the latter is assumed as once for all having taken place in the regeneration; what believers are told is, Develop this spiritual life in practice. “No one longs for eternal, incorruptible, and immortal life, unless he be wearied of this temporal, corruptible, and mortal life” [Augustine].
_ _ and your life ... hid — (Psalms 83:3); like a seed buried in the earth; compare “planted,” Romans 6:5. Compare Matthew 13:31, Matthew 13:33, “like ... leaven ... hid.” As the glory of Christ now is hid from the world, so also the glory of believers’ inner life, proceeding from communion with Him, is still hidden with Christ in God; but (Colossians 3:4) when Christ, the Source of this life, shall manifest Himself in glory, then shall their hidden glory be manifest, and correspond in appearance to its original [Neander]. The Christian’s secret communion with God will now at times make itself seen without his intending it (Matthew 5:14, Matthew 5:16); but his full manifestation is at Christ’s manifestation (Matthew 13:43; Romans 8:19-23). “It doth not yet appear (Greek, ‘is not yet manifested’) what we shall be” (1 John 3:2; 1 Peter 1:7). As yet Christians do not always recognize the “life” of one another, so hidden is it, and even at times doubt as to their own life, so weak is it, and so harassed with temptations (Psalms 51:1-19; Romans 7:1-25).
_ _ in God — to whom Christ has ascended. Our “life” is “laid up for” us in God (Colossians 1:5), and is secured by the decree of Him who is invisible to the world (2 Timothy 4:8). |
Colossians 3:3
For ye are dead — To the things on earth. And your real, spiritual life is hid from the world, and laid up in God, with Christ — Who hath merited, promised, prepared it for us, and gives us the earnest and foretaste of it in our hearts. |
Colossians 3:3
(4) For ye are dead, (5) and your life is hid with Christ in God.
(4) A reason taken of the efficient causes and others: you are dead with regard to the flesh, that is, with regard to the old nature which seeks after all transitory things. And on the other hand, you have begun to live according to the Spirit; therefore give yourselves to spiritual and heavenly, and not to carnal and earthly things. (5) The taking away of an objection: while we are yet in this world, we are subject to many miseries of this life, so that the life that is in us, is as it were hidden. Yet nonetheless we have the beginnings of life and glory, the accomplishment of which lies now in Christ's and in God's hand, and will assuredly and manifestly be performed in the glorious coming of the Lord. |
