Colossians 3:5 — In the opening verses of this chapter, the Apostle Paul points us to heaven and the assurance of future glory. He then immediately turns to the present and what we do with our bodies. A Christian who’s mind is set on heaven will mortify his/her members on the earth.
The Apostle is urging his readers to take strong action against sexual sin. This is an important word for we who are called to live holy lives in a world saturated with sexual immorality.
