Are you ready for the journey? Colossians 3:1-21

HI All,

Past Sunday at church our local Pastor gave an amazing service that really caught my attention. Why? Because he spoke about a verse that serves such basis to a happy and Christian household. From yourself to your family, this few lines are so powerful and so true. If. If only all families and people relied on these basic principles. What a different world we would live in.

Seeing so little people in church made me sad…what happened?

Hearing from someone I know that there are kids that want a bible, that want to go to church, but they say their parents don’t bother…what happened?

How do we expect a world to change, if we cannot make changes in our own households?

I’m hoping, that by sharing this verse, and going through it bit by bit, that it will reach a lot of people and that they will start living their lives accordingly. I’m no saint, but I am ready for this journey to become a soul with peace inside.

So join me…

I will post the whole verse with this post and than go through it bit by bit. If you have something to add to it. Please feel free to do so. I will take about 2 days per section, so that it can properly sink in and that you and I will be able to apply it in your life.

Thank you for reading my post this far…

Colossians 3:1-24

 New International Version (NIV)

DAY 01

3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. ² Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. ³ For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, who is your^[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

⁵ Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. ⁶ Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.^[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 

DAY 02

⁸ But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. ⁹ Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices ¹⁰ and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. ¹¹ Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

DAY 03

¹² Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. ¹³ Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ¹⁴ And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

DAY 04

¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. ¹⁷ And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

DAY 05

¹⁸ Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

DAY 06

¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

DAY 07

²⁰ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

DAY 08

²¹ Fathers,^[c] do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

DAY 09

²² Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. ²³ Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, ²⁴ since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. ²⁵ Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.
