Risen with Christ

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. "  (Colossians 3:1-3 KJV).  Through the Cross of Jesus we are all free from the curses and our debts have been paid in full. How wonderful it is to be free, but how easy one can attach themselves to the ways and things of this world. One can attach themselves to this world through a job or career, relationships, education, or even family, to just name a few. You may ask what's wrong with these things? There's nothing wrong with having a good job, a great education, or any of the other, but we must seek those things which are above, where Christ sits, first. Too many take for granted the promises of God, and would rather fill themselves with the worldly ways. Set your affection (mind) on things above. This means we need to put more energy and time on seeking things from above and not only desire them. Many spend so much time and effort on reaching for their own wants and desires from the world, rather then the promises from God above. "Set your heart on things above, not on things on the earth". Praise God. God bless you all.
