3:1-4
So we are completely forgiven, and rules based approaches do not help. However, that most definitely does not mean that it doesn’t matter how we live. We have been raised with Christ, we have been saved to new life. So we are to “set out hearts on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God”. The gospel is not an excuse for living how we like and getting away with it. Sin is actually not good for us. So we are to focus on Christ. We are to set our minds on things above, not on earthly things. Setting our minds on earthly things can be a precursor to sin, e.g setting our minds on money, sex or power. How does setting our mind on Christ help? Well when Christ appears we will appear with Him in glory. We have a have a far greater future ahead of us than anything the earth can offer, a far more wonderful and glorious future.
