Following Jesus means leaving your old ways behind and living a new life with Him at the center. Paul reminds us to focus our hearts and minds on things above—not just what’s right in front of us—because that shapes who we’re becoming. When you said yes to Jesus, the old you died, and now your identity is found in Him. That means it’s time to let go of things like anger, selfishness, and sin, and start becoming more like Christ. It’s not just about avoiding the wrong stuff—it’s about chasing after the right things. Ask yourself: what needs to go, and what needs to grow?

Scripture: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Colossians 3:1-17 (ESV)
