‘MAKING THE MOST OF OUR LIFE IN CHRIST IN 2002”

Colossians 3:1-2

If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

The one truth that affected my life more than any other single truth when I became a Christian was the fact of my union with the risen Christ. Even now when the world seems to get to me, I hesitate and reflect upon that glorious reality. Do you want to become more Christ-like in the coming year? Colossians 3:1-4 is a compact statement of the philosophy or logic of the wonderful new union that all believers share with Him. These verses give us some valuable information as well as require something of us!
