Colossians 3:5-11

5 "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all."

This passage of scripture definitely addresses the sin issues in our lives that we wrestle with. As I read through this list of sins in verses 5 and 8, I certainly can find a relationship between those specific sins and sinful attitudes I struggle with.

Paul says "put to death...rid yourselves...take off your old self...put on your new self which comes from knowledge of Christ." That's really strong language, but possible through the blood of Jesus.

I love the last part of this passage: "Christ is all, and is in all". I want Him to be my all - and in all I do!

Would you join me in prayer? "Lord, continue to help me put to death the sins in my life that represent my old life. Thank You that you give us new life and please be my all in all!!!"
