Text: Colossians 3:5-6

God’s Grace Empowers Us to Make War on Sin (3:5)

• Because we are raised with Christ, we are empowered to put our sin to death.
• Because we are raised with Christ, we must no longer worship our desires.

God’s Wrath Sobers Us to Think Rightly About Our Sin (3:6)

• For sinners outside of Christ, the wrath of God will be coming upon them; therefore, we need to take sin seriously.
• For sinners saved by Christ, the wrath of God has been satisfied in Christ; therefore, we can rest in His sufficient work (1 John 2:1-2).
