Mortify means to place a death penalty on our sins.

  • Mortify means to be private investigator, police, judge, jury, and executioner of sin. This is what our Father wants of us (How Does God Adopt Us?).
  • Since mortification leads to holiness, it was the opposite of the flesh (How Are We Debtors to God?).
  • Why should we want to mortify our sins? Because the Sovereign God calls us to do that to show our acceptance of His gift of salvation (How Does God Adopt Us?).
