What It Means to Be “In Christ.”
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on
things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set
your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died,

your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:
sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is
idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used
to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must
also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice,
slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices Colossians 3:5-9

and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge
in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew,
circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but
Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy
and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive
one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive
as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which
binds them all together in perfect unity Colossians 3:10-14
19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of

message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and
admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and
songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
