Colossians 3:3-4(ESV): For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
All we have been talking about for a couple of days is the way forward for the believer to seek after God and set our mind on Him because Jesus Christ conquered our sinful nature on the cross. When a person is saved, he received the power to overcome sin. Hallelujah! Anyone that is found in this family has made a great decision to die in the flesh.
The death Christ died, He died to sin once and for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. You’ve to count yourself dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Yes, you’re living to please God and not anyone.
Bible says our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and it is a place He dwells( 1 Corinthians 6:19). Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
Offering any part of yourself to sin is an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been raised from death to life, and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. May the Spirit of God guide you to seek Him all the time!
Prayer:
El Roi, I have learned to offer myself as your living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto you. Always show me your way, the path, and your truth in other to be aligned with Jesus’ Name. Amen.
