We have been journeying through Colossians. Paul helps us come to an understanding of our position in Christ, and then from there, what our response should be as believers. We need to put to death the religious way of thinking by trying to "do good" to earn a good position with God. We need to step into our new identity- it is not about "doing" but rather about "being", when we put our faith in the finished work of the cross. We need to be living with the perspective of eternity.
