Seek Those Things Which Are Above

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Gal 2:20-21; KJV).

As Christians we have died to the old life dominated by sin and spiritual death and have received new life in Christ Jesus (Rom 8:2). We have to live this new life by faith; faith that the Holy Spirit will work in us to change us to be more like Christ each day (Gal 5:22).

In Colossians 3:1-4 we read that we are to: “seek those things which are above”; seek the things of Jesus. In that passage we are exhorted to set our minds on heavenly things, knowing that when Christ returns, we will be with him in his glory; what a promise. When you set your mind on something it becomes your focus, your priority. God knows we have families and jobs but he wants us to make him our focus when we get up, as we go through our day and as we lay down to rest (Josh 1:8). Then we will be changed (Gal 5:22), experience all God has for us (Josh 1:8), walk in his peace (Ps 119:165) and have the assurance that we are his forever more (Col 3:4).
