Mortification (theology)

Mortification in Christian theology refers to the subjective process of sanctification, drawn from the killing of sin in a believer's life, as discussed by Paul the Apostle: "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry" (Colossians 3:5).
