It occurred to me this morning, in light of what was preached at GraceJax yesterday on Colossians 3:5-6 (you can find the sermon audio at the GraceJax website), that I never think of “killing sin” as an act of worship.

But I should. We should.

What is confession? What is repentance?
When we confess our sins to God, we are saying “God, you are Holy. I am not. You are pure, and I am stained with sin!”

When we repent, our heart cries “God, I will turn from my sin. I will stop putting my own desire above what honors You. Destroy my sin and help me to bring glory to You with my actions as I depend fully on the cross of Christ!”

That, my friend, is worship.

How do you feel after putting a specific sin to death? Read the following scripture. I would love to hear your thoughts.

“Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming.” – Colossians 3:5-6 ESV
