That He Might Be Preeminent - Part 6
Part 6: Killing to Bring Life
We’re no longer yoked to a Law, but that doesn’t mean we live by the flesh. In fact, the first step to living out the Christ-filled life is to kill the flesh. Christians of another time used the term “mortification” to describe this process. Most believers today wouldn’t recognize that term, nor are they familiar with the process. Paul shows us how to kill the old man that keeps us from the life Christ wants from us.

If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
