Act Like It

Recently, I have been meditating on Colossians 2:20-3:3.                 

“Therefore if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world,
why, as though living in the world do you subject yourselves to regulations—‘do
not touch, do not taste, do not handle,’ which all concern things which perish
with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things
indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religions, false humility,
and neglect of the body, but are of no value against indulgence of the flesh.
If then you were raised with
Christ, seek those things which
are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on
things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden
with Christ in God.”

If you are dead with Christ and dead to the world, act like it.
Do not conform to the world. If you are risen with Christ, act like it. Let
your hearts and minds be on Heaven; that is where you are going.
