Ask the Church | What Does It Mean to Mortify Sin?

Описание: What does it mean to “mortify" sin? This language can sound harsh or outdated, but it comes straight from Scripture!

In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore:
• The biblical command to “put to death” the deeds of the flesh (Romans 8, Colossians 3)
• What mortification actually means—and what it does not mean
• The difference between suppressing sin and truly killing it at the root
• How the Holy Spirit empowers believers in our fight against sin
• Why mortification is not about self-hatred, but about freedom and life in Christ

Mortifying sin is not about punishing ourselves. It is about actively resisting and putting to death patterns of sin so that we may live fully in the new life Christ has given us. This video offers a clear, biblical explanation of an important Christian doctrine that still matters today.
