Colossians 3:1 · Robert Tarullo
And that’s, just take, for example, Colossians 3.1, right? If then you’ve been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Okay, so you’re up there. You’re seated with him in heaven by virtue of your union with Jesus Christ and the power of
Colossians 3:1 · Lane G. Tipton
for me in my heavenly Sabbath temple realm. Heaven is my throne. And this is, for instance, in Colossians 3.1 and Hebrews 8.1, what does it say? Seek those things above if you’ve been raised with Christ, where Christ is seated at God’s right hand, Hebrews 1.3, Hebrews 8.1, at the throne
Colossians 3:1 · Lane G. Tipton
the father, Colossians 3. 1. The right hand of God, the right hand of the majesty on God is the right hand of the father in biblical image. So the creational replication of the son’s eternal generation as the image of the father is his incarnation at the right hand of the father in the heaven temple
Colossians 3:1 · Will Wood
image being passed on from generation to generation carries on its same context in the New Testament with Christ as firstborn, Christ as firstfruits, or Christ as one who has gone before us on our behalf. There’s other passages in the New Testament that reinforce this. Colossians chapter 3 verses 1
Colossians 3:1 · Will Wood
like he does in Ephesians 4, to put on the new man. But what’s remarkable about Colossians 3 is that it is grounded first and foremost in our resurrection life in Christ in Colossians 3 verses 1 to 4. So it is on the basis of being reborn with this life of Christ that we are able to go on and put on
Colossians 3:1–4 · Camden Bucey
And one of my favorite passages is not only Galatians 2.20, but also Colossians 3.1-4. So, if then you’ve been raised with Christ, I’d prefer the force of that to, I take that as since then you have been raised with Christ. You know, set your mind on the things above, because that is where Christ is
Colossians 3:3 · Lane G. Tipton
with Christ, so that that’s how we make sense of Paul saying you’re justified in Christ, Galatians 2.17, sanctified in Christ, Romans 6.9 and 10, adopted in him, Galatians 3.26, things like that, and so, and just building one last point on that, like when Dr. Gaffin was talking about firstborn and f
Colossians 3:4 · Richard B. Gaffin Jr.
initiates a participation in Christ. It’s a sign of initiation, of participation in Christ that becomes your life is hid with Christ and God. As Lane always reminds us Colossians 3.4. That’s our entire existence and the Lord has then provided if you will
Colossians 3:3 · Lane G. Tipton
Acts 2.33, Christ receives and pours out the Spirit. The church in union with Christ, filled with the Spirit, Ephesians 2.21, is the temple of God. And they’re in union with the Christ in whose heavenly mediation the church’s life is hidden, Colossians 3.3.
Colossians 3:5 · Jim Cassidy
Isn’t it nice that they’re getting a vacation and I’m stuck at home working or with the children? Galatians 5.26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Colossians 3.5
Colossians 3:5 · Jim Cassidy
You see, rather than being resentful and envy the success of others, we should, without being fake, genuinely and truly rejoice and celebrate all the lawful good that comes our neighbor’s way. Finally, a little bit more reflection on Colossians 3.5
Colossians 3:10 · Glen Clary
counterpart to this of Colossians 3, verse 10 or Ephesians 4, verse 24, where we are told that we are putting on the Lord Jesus Christ like a garment and in putting on Christ we are restored in the image of God and righteousness and true holiness, true knowledge. And we might also think here also of
Colossians 3:10 · Lane G. Tipton
and if, as Colossians 3.10 teaches, you have to be renewed in knowledge and the image of your creator. If, as Ephesians 4.22-24 teaches, especially 24, you have to be renewed in holiness and righteousness in the image of the creator, then that seems to presuppose that the image has been entirely los
Colossians 3:10 · Lane G. Tipton
must be redemptively restored, because it has been forfeited naturally. And so, the Lutherans would appeal to the text like Ephesians 4.24 and Colossians 3.10 to say, the image has been lost in its entirety, and those who would side more with the Roman Catholic view would look at Genesis 9.6, 1 Cori
Colossians 3:10 · Lane G. Tipton
clothing, that language is picked up by Paul. I’m not going to read it all, but in Colossians 3.10, you have put on, same root verb found in Genesis 3.21 in the Septuagint, being renewed in the knowledge and after the image of its creator, Ephesians 4.21, you are to put on the new self created in th
Colossians 3:10 · Lane G. Tipton
likeness of God and true righteousness and holiness. And then you have the language in 1 Corinthians 15, 53 and 54 of the perishable clothing itself with the imperishable and the immortal clothing itself with the immortal or putting on. The point is that the, in so far as Colossians 3.10, Ephesians
Colossians 3:10 · Camden Bucey
For example, Ephesians 4.24 and Colossians 3.10. 4.24, we’re called to put on the new self created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Where Colossians 3.10, again, have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. So there’s a pr
Colossians 3:10 · Camden Bucey
For example, Ephesians 4.24 and Colossians 3.10. 4.24, we’re called to put on the new self created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Where Colossians 3.10, again, have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. So there’s a pr
Colossians 3:16 · Rob McKenzie
And yet, scriptures filled with hymns not only being written, but sung to the Lord, to each other, in congregations, alone. David spent his time watching the sheep and writing hymns. Paul tells us in Colossians chapter 3, verses 16,
Colossians 3:16 · Glen Clary
what Pliny says here in his letter regarding singing responsibly a song to Christ as to a God, a Carmen or hymn to Christ as to a God, if you compare the words he uses with what Paul writes in Ephesians 5.19 and Colossians 3.16, the expressions are very similar. So the apostates informed Pliny that
Colossians 3:17 · Bill Dennison
To keep it quite pointed, I just see simply, I would point to Colossians 3.17. And that’s doing everything to the glory of God. And I think in the name of Christ. Now, we can map that out.
Colossians 3:17 · Bill Dennison
and then moves on in view of Colossians 3.17, and does all things in the name of Christ and for His glory. For example, I could never be a violin player. I could never be a computer programmer. Those are not areas in which I have any type of expertise.
Colossians 3:17 · Bill Dennison
The interesting thing in the Colossians 3.17 passage, if we use that as a kind of helpful application here, you move immediately into 3.18 with respect to how we operate with the family
Colossians 3:17 · Bill Dennison
Again, I would start with the Colossians 3.17 passage. So the artist, as he’s involved there, does all things, again, under Christ and in the name of Christ and to the glory of Christ. Now, and I do believe, and because of the controversy that comes here,
Colossians 3:23 · David Bahnsen
And so I think we tie ourself in knots trying to avoid this basic reality that what you ought to be doing is work to the best of your ability. Unashamed worker, doing your work heartily is for the Lord. And you’re not doing it for men, which is the second part of that Colossians 3.23 passage. But in
