We are victorious over sin in and through Christ alone.

Union with Christ is only possible by the work of God in our lives.

Do not let the elementary principles of the world fill your mind, but rather the truth of Christ.

If found in Him, may we grow in Him and walk our lives in Him.

Do not be swayed or persuaded by the arguments of this world when we have the full richness of Christ and the treasures of his knowledge and wisdom.

Paul always has reason to rejoice in his sufferings.

We are made new in Christ, once dead but now are found. May we rest our hope in Him always.

In Daniel 3 we observe the famous narrative of the fiery furnace. The uncompromising faithfulness of Daniel's three friends in the midst of a social and political "fiery furnace" that was the king's decree to idol worship. They were unwilling to hinder and there is much to gain from their narrative. 

Christ is supreme and head over all. Only through Him will we find life.

Christ is the image of God and firstborn of all creation. We must be found in Him.
