On the cross, the old self was crucified with Him. That is why Paul teaches that practical sanctification is using the power from the cross: “For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God” (Col. 3:3).
Katika msalaba, utu wa kale ulisulubishwa na Yeye. Hii ndiyo sababu Paulo anafundisha utakaso wa matendo akitumia nguvu toka msalabani: “Kwa maana ninyi mlikufa, na uhai wenu sasa umefichwa pamoja na Kristo katika Mungu” (Wakol 3:3).
