GET STARTED IN GODLY LIVING--How To Take Big Steps Forward In Our Spiritual Lives

Описание: Crucified Living
Do you have a habit of crucified living?

Do you know what it means?
Have you started a hit list?
Do you have targets that you want to give to Christ to put to death so they stop their growth in your life?

Colossian's lists target areas we must bring to the Great Physician like pockets of pride, lust, selfishness, anger, untruthfulness, and uncleanness.

What are we consciously putting to death of our old life today?

Can we name the area we are holding out to Christ our “oncologist”; an area affected by sin that we want Him to remove its deadly work from our life.

Have we examined our lives against this Scripture and agreed with God about surrendering specific areas of our life to Him?

What comes to your mind as I say those words? If nothing springs to your mind—you are probably not living a crucified life. Paul said that every day I live, I live by faith that Christ is crucifying my old life.

This morning we are examining the heart of Biblical sanctification. Sanctification requires our participation, our obedience, our responses—and that is what Paul lays down before us in Colossians 3.

Just before we read what Paul wrote, may I again remind you of the two sides of the coin of salvation. We could call the two sides faith and works as James does. Another way would be to use Paul’s words from Romans—justification and sanctification. To best understand what Paul is asking us to do in Colossians let me contrast and explain justification and sanctification.

CHRIST'S JUSTIFYING DEATH UNLEASHES CHRIST'S SANCTIFYING LIFE
