God leaves no room for our opinion Pt. 2

In our exploration of Colossians 3, we're confronted with a powerful message about the transformation that occurs when we truly embrace our identity in Christ. The passage reminds us that as believers, we have 'died' to our old selves and are now 'hidden with Christ in God.' This profound spiritual reality challenges us to 'set our minds on things above,' not on earthly matters. But what does this look like in practice? The scripture delves into the nitty-gritty of Christian living, particularly focusing on two areas that can significantly impact our witness: sexual purity and anger. We're called to 'put to death' behaviors that don't align with our new nature in Christ. This isn't about perfection, but about a continual process of surrendering to God's transforming work in our lives. As we reflect on this, we might ask ourselves: How is my faith impacting those around me? Am I known more for my love for Christ or for behaviors that contradict His teachings? This message encourages us to examine our hearts and actions, trusting in God's power to make us more like Jesus day by day.
