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.
