If then we have been raised with Christ, we already possess spiritual righteousness; a gift bestowed to us from Christ Himself. As new creations bearing the image of our Creator, we should also live with practical righteousness. In Colossians 3, Paul gives us several traits to put on as the new man.

In Colossians, Paul commands believers to put to death certain traits of the old man. If then we have been raised with Christ, we are no longer bound to the old sinful behaviors of our old self. We have been made new!

In Colossians 3, Paul gives some practical direction on how to respond the Christology he presents in chapters 1 and 2. He says, "If then you've been raised with Christ, seek the things above..." After conversion, the believer is to seek the things above. How do we do that? He goes on to say that we should "set our minds on things above..." It's vital to the Christian walk that the believer always evaluate what stirs and robs his/her affections for Christ. In this sermon, Daniel Ward walks through this plea from Paul to feed the things that stir our affections for Christ and starve the things that rob them.

In Acts 3, we see Peter heal a lame man in the name of Christ. The man was suffering from a condition he had no ability to resolve himself. Peter, through Christ, offered a remedy. We can glean a lot from the man's response to his healing. We suffer from the condition known as sin. Christ is our remedy. What is our response?

Toward the end of Acts 2, Luke gives us an account of what the early church looked like. Immediately following the conversion of 3,000 people at Pentecost, these people began doing church. Today, churches and youth groups could experience God's blessing if they would model the characteristics of this early church.
