! I. Col.
3:5-6.
!! A. Paul is saying, “Mortify or Put to death whatever belongs to your earthly sinful nature.”
!!! 1.
This /“earthly nature”/ is the /“old self”/ (or /“sinful nature”/ or /“old man”/)
!!!! a) Look at EPH 4:22.
!!!! b) /We should not go back to our old nature/, /we should not live as we did before./
!!!! c) /(2 COR 5:17)/ Says, /“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”/
!! B. In this list here Paul give a list of what not to do, but he gives a similar list in EPH 5:3-5.
(Turn there).
!!! 1. /People that are //following// this //lower nature/ /are //not// going to //inherit the kingdom// of God/.
!!!! a) This is the work of the children of disobedience and Paul says in Col 3:6 that the WRATH of GOD cometh upon the children of disobedience.
!! C. Let’s go back and read verse 5 again.
!!! 1.
At the very /end/ of /verse 5/ /he says/, /that these sin are idolatry./”
!!!! a) /Idolatry/ is the /worship/ of /false gods/.
!!!! b) So basically what /Paul/ is /saying/ is that /sexual lust and greed/ /is idolatry/.
!
II.
Col 3:7-9
!! A. At one time the Colossian Christians used to walk or live according to the ways of the world.
(Before they were saved)
!! B. He says in Verse 8, “But now you have put off these things.”
!!! 1.
He then goes on with another list, but at the /end of verse 9/ he /says/, /“ye have put off the old man with his deeds.”/
!! C. Going back to verse 5 & ,6 Paul talks about some sins that I think it is pretty clear that those thing are to done away with.
!!! 1. /But/ in /verses 8 & 9/ he talks about more /common sins/, but even these sins need to be /put away/.
!!!! a) He literally says, /“Strip or throw these things off.”/
!!!! b) A /forceful and deliberate/ act of riding yourself of these things.
!!! 2. There are /6 sin/ the he /mentions/ here.
!!!! a) /ANGER/
!!!!! (1) Anger isn’t always a sin, but it can be.
(Eph 4:26), Says, “Be ye angry, and sin not:”
!!!! b) /WRATH/
!!!!! (1) In (Gal 5:20) it refers “wrath to a work of the flesh.
!!!! c) 3rd /MALICE/
!!!!! (1) Malice means, “Ill-will, spitefulness, desire to hurt or injure.”
!!!!! (2) Also means, “Hatred against a person that goes on and on, intense and long lasting bitterness against a person.”
!!!! d) 4th /BLASPHEMY/
!!!!! (1) That is “Speech that slanders, insults, hurts, injures, and shows contempt.
!!!! e) 5th is the sin of /FILTHY COMMUNICATION/
!!!!! (1) Which is foul speaking, low and obscene speech.
Or shameful or abrasive speech.
!!!! f) 6th is /LYING/
!!!!! (1) Paul says, “Lie not one to another.”
!!! 3. /Why/ are we to /put off these things/?
!!!! a) /Because/ /we have put off/ the “/Old Man/ /with his deeds/.”
!
III.
Col 3:10
!! A. We are to put on the “NEW MAN.”
!! B. How do we put on the NEW MAN?
!!! 1. It’s /not so much/ that we have to /step into a new suit/, but /rather/ we are to /walk in the newness of life./
!!! 2. The /Bible/ /tells/ us that we are a /NEW CREATURE/.
!!!! a) When we /received Jesus/ as our Lord and savior, our /spirit/ was /recreated/.
We became /brand new/ as /a new babe/.
!!!! b) The /old things passed away/.
The /old man passed away/.
!! C. Now the KJV says that this new man “Is Renewed in knowledge.”
!!! 1.
The /actual Greek/ says, “/Is BEING renewed in knowledge.”/
!!! 2. We are in a /continual state/ of /being renewed/.
!!!! a) The idea here is that in order for us /to be victorious over sin/ (and really /over the devil/) we have to /continuously be renewed/.
!!!!! (1) Paul made reference to this continual state of renewal often.
!!!!!! (a) Look at 2Cor 4:16, this was a renewing work of the Holy Spirit.
!!!!!! (b) Look at Rom 12:2, this word /“transformed”/ is actually the Greek work which we get “/metamorphosis/,” a /total change/ from inside out.*[1]*
*(i) *This */metamorphosis/* only take place by a */continual/* */input of God’s Word/*, */prayer/*, and */Christian fellowship/*, and */lifestyle/*[2]
!!!!!! (c) Turn to Eph 4:23
