The result of resurrection

            Colossians 3:1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  ² Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.  ³ For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  ⁴ When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

1.      Raise with Christ

            “Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” Here the scripture talks about the risen of Christ. If Christ is not risen from the death, all the gospel will be in vain. So if anyone is raised with Christ he is not the same person, he is a new creation. He is transformed and Christ lives in him. His old life has gone and building up his new life through Jesus Christ. He cannot depart from Christ. He is with God and doing the will of God.

2.      To set our mind in above

            In verse 2 first parts says that, “Set your mind on the things above,” As the scripture clearly says that, our mind should not disturb by the worldly things. But as a human being we are limitless desire. When we see something better than ours, we like to have what other people have. Because we are jealous to our fellow friends, neighbor, etc. Instead we have to look the above and see what the Lord want us to do. As the children of God, We cannot live in our personal desire; we have to live according to the will of God. So if we are change with Christ. Whatever we do or think, it must be the will of the above. Our heart and mind must be always on above. We need to rely on the riches of God in heaven.

3.      Leave behind the world

“Do not on the things that are on earth.” It is clearly says that, not to trust in the worldly things. When we look at the world, there are different kinds of things can be seen, like immorality, sexual pleasure, covetous etc? Living in the world we have to see all the worldly things, and will lead us into lust. We have to think our selves and trying to know what God want us to be, at the same time we have to rely on God providence.
