Being a follower of Jesus is one of the most important things in my life. In fact, it ought to be important to all of us. Take a deeper look and understand that our private lives and public lives ought to match. Live faith out everywhere.
Let’s take a look at some verses from Colossians 3. One of them we read yesterday. Each one reminds us that faith is part of all we are, all we do and what we believe about God.
Read on. Maybe read them several times.
Colossians 3:1 NLT
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
Set your sights. There is more to it, but this really is something we can do in every area of our lives.
Colossians 3:15 NLT
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
Peace is something we all want. But this is peace based on who God is and what He is doing. We are able to have real peace when we focus on the right person.
Colossians 3:16 NLT
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
The message of Christ in our hearts and in our lives makes a huge difference. Use this truth to change everything. God is changing you and me. It ends with us being thankful.
Colossians 3:17 NLT
And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
Here is the end. Do everything as a representative of Jesus. Honor Him. Love Him. Share Him. Live it out.
