5. The Burial of sin includes, the loss of the power and authority that sin had in the heart while it was alive. Though a man were never so potent while he lived, yet when he is dead and buried, he hath no more power nor jurisdiction. Though thy sin did sit as a Lord, and rule in thy soul while it lived, yet being dead and buried, its dominion ceaseth.
Now if you are buried with Christ, these things will be a comfort to you, viz,
1. Those that are buried with Christ are most ⟨p. 255⟩comely in the sight of God;1 A man that is naturally dead and buried, is not so with us, but he that is spiritually dead to sin, is beautiful in the eyes of God.
- 1Comfort to those that are buried with Christ.
