Talk Tuesday-How Can We Set Our Minds On Things Above?

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory,” Colossians 3:2-4.

The Apostle Paul instructs us on how to think in a way that will help us live Godly lives. The reward will be sweet, no doubt, but how do we get to that place where we live for Christ and not for ourselves? Jesus warns us, saying, “19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

What does it mean to 'set our minds on things above'? How can we do that when we are constantly inundated with 'earthly' cares, tempted by carnal pleasures and challenged by earthly standards that often clash with our Christian beliefs?

This week on BGO we want to try something different. Please share with us some practical advice on how we can “set our minds on things above”.  We have many readers who are often encouraged by the comments of fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord, so share your ideas with us! Let us continue to encourage one another on to eternal life in Christ Jesus. In the end the reward will be great! Simply click on the comments link below to post! Thank you and may the LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you all abundantly.
