Commenting on Colossians 2 in the NIV Application Commentary, David Garland says, “Baptism marks the defeat of the powers that formerly held sway over us. Those who have died with Christ and have been raised with him no longer live under the old regime, where the authorities hold sway. Baptism is the sign to the world that we are owned, secured, and empowered by Christ. Christians woe the authorities and powers of this world no allegiance; and, in turn, the authorities and powers have no control over our lives.”
