If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4)
Consider the following points which these important verses bring out.
Identity Reorientation
• You’re not defined by your past, your career, your sins, or even your human successes.
• You are united with Christ. That’s your real identity.Mental Reset
• Actively seek and habitually set your mind on Christ’s rule, His values, His purposes.
• This includes spending time in prayer, Scripture, and spiritual disciplines—not out of duty, but to align your mind with Christ.Deprioritize Earthly Things
• Not on earthly things. It doesn’t mean ignoring your job or family.
• It means these don’t define your worth, direction, or goals. 4. Embrace Hiddenness
• Your life might not look successful or glorious to the world.
• But in God’s eyes it’s safe, purposeful and eternal
