       Colossians 3, starting in verse 5: “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you” (ESV). Paul’s focus begins today with us, us as Christians. In fact, that’s going to be his entire focus for us today. Paul is going to zoom in on individual character, and how we are supposed to act, as Christians. We start first with the behaviors that are not supposed to be part of our characters. Sometimes these things are those of which a person actually wants to deal with, to remove from their lives. If they are the bigger sins, a lot of times people want freedom from them but they have found in their lives, at least up to this point, that that really has never worked. In coming to Jesus, however, in believing in his death on the cross and resurrection back to life they have come to realize they are forgiven of all their sins. There is that great relief from the guilt of past sins. Often times found in this experience is a new power to overcome that which has been so problematic in the past.
