This evening I will be sharing 10 verses with you from Colossians 3. I am sharing these with you because I think that Christians often forget how to live as those being made alive in Christ. I think there are a couple of reasons for that. Christians don't know how to live like that and Christians choose not to live like that. I am not going to say much else other than this: I hope that this passage can encourage you and remind how to live as someone who is made alive in Christ. This isn't me telling you how to live, rather it's me giving you scripture that tells you how to live.
Colossians 3:1-10: Since, them, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthy things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in the knowledge in the image of its Creator.
Read through that a time or two and something new will stick out to you every time. I hope that you recognized some things that you might be doing wrong, because I know I did. I hope and pray that you can take this advice and live as you are made alive in Christ.
