Theme : " Attachment to the current world places us in a state of false security "
Text : Colossians 3:1-6
1. If therefore you are raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2. Set your affections on things above, not on things on earth. 3. For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4. When Christ, your life, appears, then you will also appear with him in glory. 5. Put therefore to death the members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, passions, evil desires, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6. It is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience,
Let's remember:
When we receive Jesus into our lives, everything changes. So then we act as ambassadors for Christ. Now, an ambassador no longer depends on himself; he does nothing that he has not received from him who accredited him. The apostle Paul tells us: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. The old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” The ambassador, like the born-again Christian, must respect the ethics and discipline associated with his office. We will be insecure if we direct our life in a direction opposite to that intended by God. If he calls us to sanctification, let us not go towards fornication, impurity, passions, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. On the contrary, let us be pious and intransigent in the face of sin; put to death our members who are on the earth. Let all old things be gone and revoked. Let us find our safety in the Eternal who called us from darkness to his marvelous light. We are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a vested people. Excellent Wednesday. Amen Alain Louz.-
