Colossians 3:1-3
1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Set your mind on things above for you died and your life is hidden in Him. Your past died when you were born again. You went from darkness to light. From death to life. From mess to new. Now your past only goes back to Christ and that's where it stops and that's where it began.

Colossians 3:10
10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

1 John 3:9
9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

When you were born again you were given a new man with the seed of Christ in you. This seed throbs with eternal life and thrives in eternal life. When we set our mind on eternal things this seed grows and the old man vanishes away. The Word of God is incorruptable and will never pass away. It has eternal life in it. It is living (Hebrews 4:12). It has God's DNA in it. We are renewed in knowledge. The more of the Word that we take in and walk out the more we are renewed. This new man is continually renewed taking in the Word growing up into Him, becoming more and more like Christ...being renewed into the image of Him who created him.

Galatians 2:20
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Galatians 3:27 NKJV

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

The phrase "put on" is the Greek word enduo which has the idea of sinking into something...it becomes like your skin and you can't take it off. You are in it and it is in you. You are it and it is you.

Colossians 1:27 NKJV

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Christ in you is the hope of glory. Christ in you is the hope of the glory of God being manifest in the earth. Christ in you is the hope of you not being the old man you always were, but being a new species, a new race with His DNA and His blood in your veins that is ever evolving more and more into His image and likeness. A race throbbing with the eternal life of God.

2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

This new life is almost unimaginable. It is one life with Him...in Him. It's His life in you and through you. This life will become so much a part of you that you won't even remember who you were or how you are "supposed" to live. But it will be natural to do the works of Jesus and do the will of the Father.
