       We have been baptized into Christ’s death in the spiritual baptism that occurs from the moment we believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. At that moment, we are buried with him, being united in his death. So, this leads to the result of our lives being “hidden with Christ in God.” We could also bring up a cross-reference verse of Ephesians 2:6. There seems to be a lot of parallels between Colossians and Ephesians, and even to some degree the Book of Romans. Nevertheless, Ephesians 2:6 states (let’s actually start in verse 5): “even when we were dead in our trespasses, [God] made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (ESV). It’s that least part that seems to relate to what we are talking about today. So, we have been raised up with Christ and seated with him in the heavenly places, that is, in Heaven.
