The New Self-Practical Holiness (Colossians 3:1-7)
Bob Schultz, April 12, 2026Part of the Colossians series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Today the Bible teaches Christians the need to kill the sins of the past life-including sexual sins and idolatry so that we would become more holy.
Colossians 3:1–7 (Listen)
3:1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.
