Chapter 6 — Part I — Article IV (Of the Crucifixion, Death and Burial)
Section 210. Q. How can we have fellowship in the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ? A. We have fellowship in the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ through a lively and hearty faith, through the Sacraments, in which is contained and sealed the virtue of his saving sufferings and death, and, lastly, through the crucifixion of our flesh with its affections and lusts. I, says the Apostle, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Gal. ii. 19, 20. Know ye not, that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? Rom. vi. 3. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. 1 Cor. xi. 26. They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal. v. 24.
