Paul prayed for the folks in the church in Colosse. Colossians 1:10 says, “That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully  pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

2 Peter 1:3 says, “As His divine power has given  to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.” We live victoriously through His resurrection power within us. 

Ephesians 1:19 described that power. It says, “And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.” At salvation His resurrection power became ours.

Romans 6 declares that we can live free of sin’s temptation. We are dead to sin, but alive to God. Verse 12 tells us how to live. It says, “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.”
