The Strange Death of Hidden Life - Marlin Sommers

About this episode

Marlin Sommers discusses the concept of baptized believers being 'dead' with a life 'hidden with Christ' and the implications of this identity.

Scripture describes baptized believers as “dead” with a life that is “hidden with Christ.” Marlin Sommers explores the contrasts of this joyful “death-life.” What does it look like when we put on Christ and put off the old human?
