What it Means to Die to This Life by Pastor Brett Smith

Pastor Brett spoke on Colossians 3, focusing on the concept of dying to sin and living in Christ. The speaker emphasized several key points: First, he explained that when believers come to Christ, their old nature dies and their new life becomes hidden in Christ. He used the metaphor of baptism to illustrate this spiritual transformation, describing how going under water represents death to the old self, while coming up represents resurrection to new life. He also addressed the ongoing struggle between flesh and spirit, warning against keeping the old nature on 'life support.' He referenced Hebrews 10:26-29 to emphasize the severity of willfully continuing in sin after receiving salvation.
