(Vs.
1a) - We were all dead!
Colossians 2:13 — And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Ephesians 2:1–7
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
(Vs.

(SET YOUR AFFECTION)

1 John 2:15–17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
2 Corinthians 4:18
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
If you focus on the things of the world, you will perish with the world but if you focus your affections (your mindset) on the world to come, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God, eternal life shall be yours!
Romans 8:5–9
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Why should we not focus on the things of the world?
Because we are dead to the world and our lives are now hid with Christ!
(Vs.

It means when a righteous, holy God looks at us He doesn’t see our flaws, our failures, our sins but rather He sees the holiness and righteousness of His Son!
Praise God that our lives are hid with Christ, amen!
When I was studying this word though, what I found most interesting is that it can also mean to keep safe or to protect!
When our lives are hid with Christ, they are kept safe in Christ, they are protected in Christ amen!
And when He shall appear, we shall also appear with Him in glory!
As born again believers, we ought to always be looking and longing for our life to come with the Lord!

Deuteronomy 8:5 — Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

We are to put off ourselves, our old ways, our old man and put on the Lord Jesus Christ!
We are to clothe ourselves spiritually speaking with Christ!
What does that look like?
Look with me at Verse 12-14.

Meekness — gentleness
Longsuffering — patience…explained in Verse 13.
1 Corinthians 13:4–7
