Charles Spurgeon Commentary Colossians 2:3

"in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden." — Colossians 2:3 (ASV)

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

The old life is dead. You are dead to it. You will not be consumed by it: you cannot be controlled by it. You have a newer and higher life. Let it have full scope.
