United, Seeking, Hoping Colossians 3:1-4 Chair Bible 984 Main Idea: Union with Christ compels our seeking the things above in light of our hope for glory. 1​

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2​ ​Set your minds on things that are above, not on things ​ that are on earth. ​3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4​ ​When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Union with Christ reveals the brilliance of our salvation. ● 1a ​If then you have been raised with Christ, ● 3 ​For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.4a ​ ​When Christ who is your life appears, Union with Christ compels our seeking and setting on things above. ● 1b ​seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2​ Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
