Colossians 3

Today we are reading Colossians 3. In this chapter Paul writes about our struggle against sin.  The keyword for this chapter is “ne-kro-o”. The definition is, “to put to death. The meaning here is to be compared to Romans 6:11 and contains the idea “reckon as dead”.” “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming.” Colossians‬ ‭3:5-6‬ ‭ESV Paul is here urging us to put to death those things that draw us into sin and away from God. How do you put something to death? I know it is awful to think about!  How can we put sin to death? We have to allow the things of God to dominate our lives and avoid the things that cause us to sin. May God fortify you through His Word and strengthen you where you are weak.  Pastor Tim
