Mortification.  Not a word you hear very often, if at all, nowadays.  In fact, the concept of mortification is not very popular today – even among some evangelicals. The word “mortify” means to put something to death.  In theological terms it refers to the killing of sin, or the dying to sin in a believer’s life.  Every believer, through the sanctifying power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, has the ability to crucify “the sinful nature with its passions and desires” (Gal.5:24), and every believer has been called to “put to death the misdeeds of the body” (Rom.8:13; see Col.3:5).
