For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Raised from the waters of baptism Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. We are risen above the sins of our past “Keep on seeking” the things above Higher values in life and ultimately heaven Matt. 6:33 seek ye first the kingdom of God...

Colossians 3:2 Col. 3:10 renewed in knowledge Sooner or later we will do what we want to We must change our desires Fantasies of sin are fed daily by the world (it requires no study or effort to bring sin to mind) Dream about godliness (1 Tim. 6:10-12)

Colossians 3:2 Victory is obtained through the mental part of the physical training (1 Cor. 9:24-27) How do we set our affections? Col. 3: Peace of God rules (not suggests or advises) 15 & 17 Thankful for the rules (Rom. 1:21) 16 Dwells (not visits 3 or 4 hours a week) 16 Singing with brethren encourages 17 Do and say with authority and thanks

Colossians 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Old desires and behaviors have passed away Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Colossians 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Christ, who is our life: purpose, reality, existence, joy, and fulfillment Shall Appear: 2 Tim. 4:7-8 then shall ye also appear with him in glory 1 Cor. 15: become incorruptible
