Mortification (Colossians 3:1-11)

As we will see in our passage in Colossians, your only hope for victory in life with Christ comes from knowing you are already dead. And we will see that life in Christ is continual mortal combat. Our main warfare as Christians is not against other religions; it’s not against cultural trends, it’s not against a political party, it’s not against our spouses or children or other members of the church – no, our primary, daily warfare is against the enemy within – our own sinful desires and practices.
