The best believers, who are certainly freed from the condemning Power of sin, still need to make it their business to mortify the indwelling power of sin all theirlife. So the apostle Paul writes, "Therefore mortify the parts of your body that belong to the earth." To whom does he speak? Those who were "risen with Christ," verse 1; those who were "dead" with him, verse 3; those who have their life in Christ, and who will "appear with him in glory," verse 4. Do you mortify the sin in your life? Do you make it your daily work? Always be at this work while you live! Do not miss a day from it. You need to be killing sin, or it will be killing you.
