Setting Our Affection

Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

What do we love the most? Believers may need a little help “setting our affection” on things above. It may require denying what we want for what God wants for us.

But, Jesus is at the Father’s right hand, making intercession for us, cheering us on. The following scriptures in Colossians are excellent guidelines. Focus on them.  

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 and A fruitful witness–-4:3-6

We must never forget that we are dead to sin and alive to a new life in Christ Jesus.
