Q&A's:

Question 40
Why did Christ have to suffer death?

Answer
Because God’s justice and truth require it: nothing else could pay for our sins except the death of the Son of God.

Question 41
Why was he “buried”?

Answer
His burial testifies that he really died.

Question 42
Since Christ has died for us, why do we still have to die?

Answer
Our death is not a payment for our sins, but only a dying to sins and an entering into eternal life.

Question 43
What further benefit do we receive from Christ’s sacrifice and death on the cross?

Answer
By his power our old man is crucified, put to death, and buried with him, so that the evil desires of the flesh may no longer rule us, but that instead we may offer ourselves as a sacrifice of thanksgiving to him.
