“Consider…”

Blessings folk!

Col 3:5
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

“Therefore…”!

Because…

• we have been raised up with Christ
• we are seeking the things above rather than the things below
• we are setting our minds on the things above rather than the things on earth
• we have died
• our lives are hidden with Christ in God

Therefore…

We are to consider the members of our earthly body to be dead.
Dead to immorality.
Dead to impurity.
Dead to passion.
Dead to evil desire.
Dead to greed.
Dead to all that this amount to - idolatry.

Setting/keeping/seeking our minds upon the things above will enable death to the evil below.

The Lord empowers us to do so.

We have to the choice to walk with Him or not.
