What are the results of mortification in the life of a Christian?

The results of mortification are profound and deeply spiritual. Romans 8:13 assures believers that if they mortify the deeds of the body, they shall live—a promise of spiritual life. Furthermore, engaging in the process of mortification fosters growth in holiness and closeness to God. Believers who actively put sin to death experience increased joy and peace in their relationship with God, as they align more closely with His will and purpose. This life of mortification therefore produces not only personal transformation but also a bold witness to others of God’s grace working within them.
