The New Life - Part 5

The New Life - Part 5

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3 NKJ

All New

A New Identity

• Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”

A New Understanding

• Ephesians 1:17-18 “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints”
  
• Matthew 16:26 “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”

3 Keys to begin

• Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Life From The Dead
A whole new way to be human!
Colossians 3:1-7 Message

The Death Side

• I Thessalonians 4:3 “This is the will of God, your sanctification …”
  
• My Utmost For His Highest, Oswald Chambers
  
• Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate … his own life … he cannot be My disciple.”
