The Death that Leads to Life

Series: Colossians: The Supremacy of Christ

Category: Reconciliation

Speaker: Jason Williams

In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at Paul’s call to live, not as who we used to be, but as we are in Christ. In Colossians 3:5-10, we are called to put the evil desires of the flesh to death and to cast off who we used to be. When we live our lives according to the desires of the flesh, it leads to death. However, when we die to ourselves we are free to live empowered by the Spirit of God, which leads to life. Paul’s command is to stop living as we were and start living as we are now in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
