By far, the apostle Paul’s favorite way to describe himself and all people of God was to say that we are “in Christ.” Indeed, this is the most important description of the believer’s position before God. In this message from Colossians 3, Sinclair Ferguson reminds us that as Christians, our identity is found solely in Christ. Rather than look to the world for blessing, then, as the culture does, we need only look to Jesus and all the benefits that are ours in Him.
1bIf then you have been raised with Christ, seek cthe things that are above, where Christ is, dseated at the right hand of God. 2eSet your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For fyou have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ gwho is your1 life happears, then you also will appear with him iin glory.
5jPut to death therefore kwhat is earthly in you:2 lsexual immorality, impurity, mpassion, evil desire, and covetousness, nwhich is idolatry. 6oOn account of these the wrath of God is coming.3 7pIn these you too once walked, when you were living in them.
