Set Your Mind on Things Above

YOU MUST

SET YOUR

THINGS

ABOVE.

COLOSSIANS 3:1-4

“Were raised with Christ” certainly speaks of

these Christians’ baptism.

“We were buried with Him through baptism into death,

that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory

of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of

life” (Rom 6:4).

You were “buried with Him in baptism, in which you also

were raised with Him through faith in the working of God,

who raised Him from the dead” (Col 2:12).

HOW DO YOU SET

YOUR MIND ON

THINGS ABOVE?

You must order your life around God’s throne.

“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things

which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand

of God” (v 1).

Throughout Scripture, we are reminded that life is really

about heaven.

Matt 6:19-21.

“Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for

the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Phil 3:20).

To order your life around God’s throne, do four

things:

One: You need to take a close look at your life and see

whether or not it’s really ordered around God’s throne.

Two: You need to take a close look at Scripture to see

how you can live a heaven-centered life.

Three: You need to remove evil qualities from your life .

Four: You need to add positive qualities to your life.

You must order your thinking around God’s

throne.

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the

earth” (v 2).

We are told to make heaven a reality in our minds.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the

renewing of your mind” (Rom 12:2).

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are

noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure,

whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if

there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate

on these things” (Phil 4:8).

If you want to make heaven a reality in your

thinking, do two things:

One: Take a close look at what you put in your mind.

Two: Fill your mind with good.

Do you need to claim heaven as your home this

morning?

IS HEAVEN REALLY YOUR

HOME?
