” Set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of the earth.” Colossians 3:1-2
” Put on your new nature and be renewed as you learn to know your creator and become like him.” Colossians 3:10
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we become a new person. We are to follow the ways of our new leader in Jesus. We are to shed our old ways of thinking and begin to learn and adjust to the ways of heaven. For many, including myself, this is quite a challenge. In many cases we have mastered the ways of the world. We talk like the world; we act like the world, and we treat others in the ways of the world. When we begin our new life, we are to change our focus. We are to begin new classes under our Lord’s direction and begin to live in the ways of heaven. We are to change how we look to others, act toward others and speak with others. We are to think about the things of heaven and not the things of this world. Heaven is described as a place of beauty, peace, constant health, and happiness. It is just the opposite of what has happened on this earth. Heaven is everything we are searching for. When we begin living in Christ we are on our way. Yes, we are still living on this earth, but we are told to do a restart and begin new. We begin our journey as we train ourselves in the word of God and then talk about our experiences to others. We do away with fear in our lives. We throw out doubt and worry, and jealousy. We begin to build faith in Jesus and his ways, that are so eloquently described in the bible. When we follow Jesus, we are following him to heaven! Let us stay on the course and continue to build a faith that will never waver. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
