You are Out of This World

You are Out of This World

You have been raised with Christ. (Colossians 2:12)
You have been transferred out of the kingdom of darkness. (Colossians 1:13)
You have been transferred into the Kingdom of God. (also Colossians 1:13)

Since this is true, let your attention rest on things in the realm of which you are a citizen. (Colossians 3:2) Your heart knows where home is. Let it train your mind to think of things above instead of earthly things.

Old you (whose very nature was earthly, fleshly, selfish) is dead and gone. (Romans 6:6)

Your eternal life is all there is now, and it's safely tucked away, right along with your lovely Lord Jesus, in God. (Colossians 3:3)

In fact, Christ is your life. It is His life you bear, His life that gives you existence, His life that's being manifested through you.

Colossians 3:1–4
“Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.” (NASB 2020)

Live free and at rest in this.
