Living a Heavenly Life Now
Dear Church Family,
This Sunday, our sermon explored Colossians 3:1-4, emphasizing the profound truth of our union with Christ and its implications for our daily lives. We highlighted that Christianity is not just about future salvation, but about shaping our present reality. The core message was that in light of the heavenly reality of our union with Christ, we are called to live a heavenly life now. This challenges us to actively pursue Christ-likeness in our everyday actions, thoughts, and desires.
Takeaways:
- Our union with Christ is a present reality, not just a future promise. We have died and been raised with Him, and our life is now hidden with Christ in God.
- We are called to actively seek and set our minds on things above, not on earthly things. This involves intentionally pursuing Christ-like qualities and putting to death sinful behaviors.
- Living out our heavenly reality requires intentional planning and effort. We need to be proactive in nurturing our relationship with Christ through prayer, Bible study, and Christian fellowship.
As we go about our week, let's remember that Christ is our life now. May this truth transform how we live, love, and interact with the world around us. We encourage you to prayerfully consider how you can make a plan to keep the reality of your identity in Christ at the forefront of your mind and heart. Share it with someone! Let's walk in our new life together for the glory of Christ!
Grace and peace,
The Elders of NLBC
