Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Things above are the things of God, things that bring glory to Him. To be more specific read the scriptures below from Colossians.
A deeper knowledge of Jesus, 3:10 ------ A clean, holy life, 3:5-9 ------- Godly virtues, 3:12-17 -------Holiness in our domestic life, 3:18-21 --------Holiness in our social life, 3:22-4:1 ------- An effective prayer life – 4:2 ------- A fruitful witness – 4:3-6.
Live out the fruit of the Spirit day by day,
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
We are challenged to live our lives with genuine spiritual values and not the values of a fallen world. As we give our attention to things above, we are enabled to live a heavenly, holy, God-honoring life in this world.
