Colossians 3:1-11 encourages believers to focus their minds on heavenly things rather than earthly desires, since they are united with Christ. It emphasizes putting to death earthly inclinations such as immorality, impurity, and greed, and instead, embracing virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, and forgiveness, reflecting the image of Christ in their lives. We have the power to choose with the Holy Spirit!
