Are you raised with Christ? - 3:1-4
Baptism is not only a picture of Christ’s atoning death, but of our own to self and sin!
If we are saved, it is not only raised FROM spiritual death, but TO spiritual life!
If you have not been raised with Christ, then you are yet dead in sin and trespasses; you are a zombie
Put to Death what is earthly - 3:5-11
This list echoes the ‘deeds of the flesh’
covetousness is idolatry
“I want”
Wrath is coming - 3:6
Why do believers continue in patterns that are the cause of Jesus’ suffering?
If we believe that the Lord is returning,
Do we not realize that believing in the 2nd Coming of Christ Jesus is believing that all these things will be destroyed?
Is it not then painfully obvious that they aren’t even worth our time and energy?
Put to death, by the enabling of the Holy Spirit, that which is earthly in you… because it’s just not worth the hype, the time, the energy, the resources, your life or your witness.
Because we are ONE in Christ - 3:11
All the earthly motives and actions only serve to tear down and divide.
This is wholly antithetical to the atonement of Christ.
Put on Love - 3:12-17
Again the echo from
Above all these…
col 3:
gal 5:
Love is Choice
The heart wants what the heart wants...
forgiveness
The heart wants what the heart wants
col 3:2
Choosing what is good and right and expecting emotion to follow is not the same as fake it til you make it; it is predicated on what is good and right.
peace
So then, Love God supremely and people genuinely!
Paul is saying nothing beyond that.
The Word of Christ
“Regarding the things I say, I should supply even the proofs, so I will not seem to rely on my own opinions, but rather, prove them with Scripture, so that the matter will remain certain and steadfast” - John Chrysostom
I opposed indulgences and all the papists, but never with force.
I simply taught, preached, and wrote God’s Word; otherwise I did nothing.
And while I slept, or drank Wittenberg beer with my friends Philip and Amsdorf, the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that no prince or emperor ever inflicted such losses upon it.
I did nothing; the Word did everything.
All who believe have been raised to new life with Christ.
May God help us to set our affections on things from above; to be changed by His Word, to exhibit His love to others, and to put to death remaining sin in us.
