Mortify your members

 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: Colossians 3:5

To mortify means to subdue, in Colossians 3:5 Paul addressed the church of mortifying their human nature which may manifest after they are born again therefore we need to kill this nature of sinfulness in our body. After our salvation the grace to live above the works of the flesh had been released but we have a role to play so that this grace may be made manifested in our lives. 

Our major roles to mortify our members.

• fleeing from any youthful lust and abstaining from all appearance of evil. 2 timothy 2:22, 1 thessalonians 5:22

• be renewed in the mind often through the washing water of the word of God. Ephesians 5:26

• Walking with God through faith. Hebrew 11:6

Dear reader I hope you’re blessed by the message, are you yet to surrender your life to Christ, give him a chance today and all your struggles with sins will be over forever.

Conclusion:

If your members are not mortified you may end up falling out of Grace, mortify your members always so that you will have dominion over sin forever.
