Lord’s Day 16
Q43. What further benefit do we receive from Christ's sacrifice and death on the cross?
Through Christ's death our old selves are crucified, put to death, and buried with him, so that the evil desires of the flesh may no longer reign in us, but that instead we may offer ourselves as a sacrifice of gratitude to him.
