 is Colossians 3, is it verse 1 or verse 2? For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. You know, they've already killed me, or rather, Christ has already died on my behalf. My earthly life is not of no account, it's to be preciously guarded and stewarded, but it is, as the rest of the New Testament makes clear in many verses, it is to be counted as an expendable asset for the Lord, if it needs be.
