Scripture Post #668: *MORTIFY YOUR MEMBERS*

This Scripture was from Apostle Paul and Timotheus, to the Saints of Colosse (Col. 1:1-2).

Col. 3:5-6 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV): 

So put everything evil out of your life: sexual sin, doing anything immoral, letting sinful thoughts control you, and wanting things that are wrong. And don’t keep wanting more and more for yourself, which is the same as worshiping a false god.

[Verse 6:] God will show his anger against those who don’t obey him, because they do these evil things.

"…The wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience…" So let's strive for obedience. Because we're not the children of disobedience. It's by the grace of GOD that we are saved. So in our salvation, let's make our actions reflect gratitude for what JESUS did for us on that cross. Instead of continuing in our sin and who we used to be, let's mortify our members and conform to the ways of GOD!
