Think About Things Above

What do you think about most of the time? Family. Money. Food. God. Health. We tend to think on whatever is most important to us.

The Apostle Paul told us how believers should think.

Colossians 3:2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

A quick look at some of the following verses gives insight into what he is talking about. We are to pursue:

A deeper knowledge of Jesus, Col. 3:9,10
A clean, holy life, Col. 3:5-9
Godly virtues, Col. 3:12-17
Holiness in our domestic life, Col. 3:18-21
Holiness in our social life, Col. 3:22-4:1
An effective prayer life, Col.4:2
A fruitful witness, Col. 4:3-6

In other words, we are to live like Jesus lived, 1 John 2:6. We are to live out the fruit of the Spirit day by day, Gal. 5:22-23.
