Mortify the flesh
Colossians 3:1-7 NKJV
[1] If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. [2] Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. [3] For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. [4] When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. [5] Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. [6] Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, [7] in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
We have a new life in Christ Jesus. This new life is characterized by a lifestyle of Christ-likeness. We are told to put to death any other character that is not Christlike: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry"
Today, I pray that we will put to death the deeds of the flesh by the help of the Holy Spirit and set our minds on things of God, In Jesus' Name, Amen.
