What does it really mean to live as someone who has been raised with Christ?
In this episode, we continue through Colossians 3 and explore Paul's powerful picture of the Christian life as death and resurrection. Paul isn't simply telling us to try harder or become better people. He is reminding us that something has already changed. In Christ, our old life has died, and we have been raised to a new life.
So what do we do with the things that still pull us back toward the old way of living? Paul challenges us to put away the attitudes and behaviors that belong to our former life, not because we are trying to earn God's love, but because they no longer fit who we are in Christ.
Using the picture of a horse moving out of balance, this conversation explores what it means to recognize when our lives are getting out of step with God and allow Him to bring us back into alignment.
This isn't a message about guilt or perfection. It's an invitation to live from our new identity in Christ. If we have been raised with Him, then we don't have to keep living like we're still dead.
Scripture: Colossians 3: 5- 11
