### 43. Q. What further benefit do we receive from Christ’s sacrifice and death on the cross?
|

**A**. By his power our old man is crucified, put to death, and buried with him,<sup>1</sup> so that the evil desires of the flesh may no longer rule us,<sup>2</sup> but that instead we may offer ourselves as a sacrifice of thanksgiving to him.<sup>3</sup>
