Colossians 3:2 (KJV) Our Own Doing

Colossians 3:2 (KJV)

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

The passage clearly places the responsibility for the affection upon the Christian; If ye then be risen with Christ.

This is a recognizable condition. The believer can: 

• Know he is saved, 
• Know he is forgiven and 
• Know he has been risen a new life with and in Christ. 

Having this knowledge, being aware of what God has done in him, the Christian is then instructed in his own responsibilities:

• To seek those things which are above
• To set his affections on things above

This is:

• Purposeful, 
• Mindful, 
• Deliberate. 

If we have no heart for heaven it is our own doing. 

To my readers:
