Colossians 3:1 - 3:5

ColossiansSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the theological interpretation of Colossians 3:1-5, emphasizing the concept of spiritual transformation. He explains that Paul's statement about being dead to sin does not mean physical death, but rather a recognition of sin as an external force. Gregg posits that believers should strive to align their values and goals with those of God, as their old selves have been crucified with Christ. He highlights the importance of putting off the old self and embracing the new nature found in Christ. In this insightful analysis, Gregg explores the implications of this transformative process on various aspects of a Christian's life, including sexual purity and the rejection of behaviors belonging to the old self.
