Week 37:Redeemer GC Lesson

Main Focus:  Why must believers keep killing sin, and how do we know the fight ends in life?

Because we owe the flesh nothing; the Holy Spirit lives in us to put sin to death—and His leading proves we are God’s adopted children, heirs of eternal life.

  • Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11

    If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

    Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

    Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
