Episode notes
Mortify Sin Through The Spirit
- Romans 8:13 calls believers to actively "put to death" the deeds of the body through the Spirit.
- Mortification is violent language because the Bible describes sanctification as an ongoing, aggressive fight.
Union With Christ Enables Mortification
- Only those united to Christ with the Spirit indwelling can truly mortify sin.
- The same power that raised Jesus from the dead empowers believers in sanctification.
Depend On The Spirit, Not Rituals
- Don’t try to mortify sin in your own strength apart from the Spirit.
- Rely on the Holy Spirit rather than countless rituals or self-will to kill indwelling sin.
