Dying to Live

"Our conformity to the death of Christ obliges us to die unto sin; thereby we know the fellowship of his sufferings. Thus we are here said to be planted together in the likeness of is death, not only a conformity, but a conformation, as the engrafted stock is planted together into the likeness of the shoot, of the nature of which it doth participate. Planting is in order to life and fruitfulness: we are planted in the vineyard in a likeness to Christ, which likeness we should evidence in sanctification."

Matthew Henry
