We have seen Colossians teach us that Christ is the priority in the church and in our lives. We are complete in Him. We aren't to return to the law to try to add things to Christ. The law was a shadow and we have now come to the fullness of Christ. We are to hold on to Him. Yet that doesn't leave us free to live anyway we want. We are to set our minds and affections on Christ and on the things that are above. We are looking at Christ and evaluating everything in light of what Christ has promised us and taught us. We this motivating us and in us, we are to put to death your members which are on the earth. There are fleshly lusts that war against us and we are to return the favor in seeing them put to death so that not even one is named among us. (1 Peter 2:11; Eph. 5:3) We are also to be continually putting off the works of the flesh with its anger wrath malice and such. These heart sins that work their way into our speech and then actions. The Christian is also to put some things on. These are part of the calling of God, the work of God in the elect. Only through the Spirit will you be able to see these heart attitudes growing in your life. The close of this section is an emphasis on love. Join us as we look and the love we are to put on and the peace which of that will rule our hearts.
