1. Linked Inseparably to Christ  (Colossians 3:3-4) For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. {4} When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

2. Christ’s Resurrection Power in us!  (Romans 6:4) … just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.  (Ephesians 1:18-20) I pray… that you may know … his incomparably great power for us who believe… which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead.  (Colossians 3:1-2) Since, then, you have been raised with Christ… Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

3. Thinking Christ-like thoughts  (Colossians 3:1-2) Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. {2} Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.  (2 Corinthians 10:5) … and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
