It Matters What You Think {Memorizing Colossians 3:1-2}

Memorize this week:

Group A
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.

Group B
2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

We’re picking up in the 3^rd chapter of the apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Colosse (in present-day Turkey). He likely wrote it while he was in prison.

In chapters 1 and 2, Paul honors Christ as God’s image and fullness in human form. He then says that we, too, as believers, have been given that same fullness (Colossians 2:9-12).

And here we begin chapter 3. “If then” ties it all together (Colossians 3:1).

If we answer “yes” to the “if”, we are given something to do in Colossians 3:1-2.

• Seek things above, and
• Set our minds on things above.

So on week 1 of memorizing these truths about Christ and ourselves, we are already exercising our minds, directing our thoughts, to higher things, to things of Christ.

It matters what we think about.
