Colossians 3:1-17

Listen to Colossians 3:1-17
1 igitur si conresurrexistis Christo quae sursum sunt quaerite ubi Christus est in dextera Dei sedens
2 quae sursum sunt sapite non quae supra terram
3 mortui enim estis et vita vestra abscondita est cum Christo in Deo
4 cum Christus apparuerit vita vestra tunc et vos apparebitis cum ipso in gloria
5 mortificate ergo membra vestra quae sunt super terram fornicationem inmunditiam libidinem concupiscentiam malam et avaritiam quae est simulacrorum servitus
6 propter quae venit ira Dei super filios incredulitatis
7 in quibus et vos ambulastis aliquando cum viveretis in illis
8 nunc autem deponite et vos omnia iram indignationem malitiam blasphemiam turpem sermonem de ore vestro
9 nolite mentiri invicem expoliantes vos veterem hominem cum actibus eius
10 et induentes novum eum qui renovatur in agnitionem secundum imaginem eius qui creavit eum
11 ubi non est gentilis et Iudaeus circumcisio et praeputium barbarus et Scytha servus et liber sed omnia et in omnibus Christus
12 induite vos ergo sicut electi Dei sancti et dilecti viscera misericordiae benignitatem humilitatem modestiam patientiam
13 subportantes invicem et donantes vobis ipsis si quis adversus aliquem habet querellam sicut et Dominus donavit vobis ita et vos
14 super omnia autem haec caritatem quod est vinculum perfectionis
15 et pax Christi exultet in cordibus vestris in qua et vocati estis in uno corpore et grati estote
16 verbum Christi habitet in vobis abundanter in omni sapientia docentes et commonentes vosmet ipsos psalmis hymnis canticis spiritalibus in gratia cantantes in cordibus vestris Deo
17 omne quodcumque facitis in verbo aut in opere omnia in nomine Domini Iesu gratias agentes Deo et Patri per ipsum

Colossians 3:1-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO COLOSSIANS 3

This chapter contains exhortations to several duties, some more general, which relate to all Christians, and others more particular, which belong to saints in such and such a state of life. The apostle begins with an exhortation to seek things heavenly, and not earthly, and to set the affections on the one, and not on the other: the arguments used to enforce it are taken from the saints being risen with Christ; from Christ being in heaven at the Father's right hand; from their being dead to sin, the law, and the world; from their having life in Christ safe and secure; yea, from Christ being their life, and their appearance with him in glory, Col 3:1-4. And next he proceeds to an exhortation to the mortification of sin, and the deeds of it, which he urges from the wrath of God coming upon men for these things, and from the consideration of their former state and condition, expressed by walking and living in them, Col 3:5-7, and by a metaphor taken from the putting off and on of garments, he exhorts to the putting off of the old man, with his deeds, several of which are mentioned, Col 3:8,9, and to the putting on of the new man, and to the exercise of various graces, as mercy, meekness, forbearance, forgiveness, charity, and peace, Col 3:10-15. And then he proceeds to exhort to such duties as relate to the word and worship of God; as that the word of Christ should have an abiding place in them, and that they should teach and instruct one another by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and do all they did in a religious way, in the name of Christ, with thankfulness to God by him, Col 3:16,17. And closes the chapter with the duties of wives to their husbands, and of husbands to their wives, and of children to their parents, and of parents to their children, and of servants to their masters, Col 3:18-25.

My Heavenly Father-in-Law, Part 2
My Heavenly Father-in-Law, Part 2
Stuart and Jill Briscoe

God is desperately concerned with how His children are treated. He’s concerned as our heavenly Father—and as our heavenly Father-in-law! Because our spouses are God’s sons and daughters, when we marry, He also becomes our heavenly father-in-law! And He has a whole list in Colossians about how He expects His in-laws to treat His sons and daughters. In this message, Pete Briscoe explores how God views our marriages and how the way we treat our spouses impacts our relationship with Him.
