Remain within the high calling
Remain within the high calling – Colossians 3:1-2, Colossians 3:12-15
Colossians 3:1-2
3 If ye then be risen (were raised with) with Christ, seek (endeavor to find) those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection (mind) on things above, not on things on the earth (land).
Colossians 3:12-15
12 Put on (like a tee shirt) therefore, as the elect (chosen) of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies (subjective compassion: felt on witnessing his misfortune), kindness (sweetness of disposition, in-spite of ingratitude), humbleness (modesty) of mind, meekness (enduring all things with an even temper), longsuffering;
13 Forbearing (to hold up) one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God (Christ) rule (be umpire) in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
