Words of the Day

The Life of the New Man:

(Colossians 3:1-11)

1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Dearly beloved I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ, who was and is and is to come. Blessing and honor and glory and power.

If we are raised with Christ Jesus, we must seek what is above where He is seated at the right hand of God the Father. We must set our minds on what is above and not what is on the earth. For we died, and our lives are hidden with Christ Jesus in God. When Christ who is our lives is revealed, then we also will be  revealed with Him in glory.

We must put to death what belongs to our wordly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed which is idolatry. Because of these God’s wrath comes on the disobedient. We must also put away anger, wrath,malice,slander,and filthy language from our mouths . Do not lie to one another, since we have put off the old self. We are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of our creator. In Christ there is not Greek, and Jews, circumcision, and un-circumcision, slave and free, but Jesus Christ is all and in all.

God Bless you.
