Ask people to define what being a Christian means and you would get varying answers. Christianity is not a lifestyle but is being united with Christ and hidden in Him. Before one can live as a Christian, they must first truly come to know Christ. Paul writes to the Colossian church informing them to look up, not inward, and to set their hearts on things above. Seeking to live a life worthy of the call one has received provides evidence one is in Christ.
Put On the New Self
1If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ who is your1 life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

The challenge for today’s churches to remain rooted in the truth of the Gospel is not new. In fact, the church in Colossae during the days of the Apostle Paul was influenced by many worldly falsehoods, including superstition, mythology and even simple error in doctrinal translation. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul imposes two key messages which are as applicable today as they were then. First, he re-confirms that all things were created and hold together through Jesus Christ and that we must walk with Him and hold steadfast to our faith in His saving power. Paul then provides practical application for Christian living which we can still look to as a continual source of direction and guidance.
