Seeking things which are above


"seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth
on the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1

In Jesus Christ, we don't work for life, but from life.

We don't seek to shape our actual life in the flesh but
choose to conform our inner life to that of Him which
is above.

enduring as a good soldier

"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs
of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to
be a soldier."
2 Timothy 2:3-4

Free from the Law of sin and death


"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me
free from the law of sin and death."
Romans 8:2

We are delivered from the LAW of sin and death, by the LAW
of the Spirit of Life!

Pardoned

"If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye
are yet in your sins" 1 Corinthians 15:17

We are dead in Christ, we in Him and He in
our sins that were upon Him; we were buried
with Christ, we in Him still, and He in our sins
still.

If He still lays in that dark, unopened grave,
then we are there with Him, in our sins,
because we are in Him.

If one single sin is left uncancelled, then the
payment hasn't been made in full. But we
know that Jesus paid it all and all our sins have
been pardoned.
