We set our affections on things above by prioritizing our relationship with Christ and seeking to live in accordance with His will.
In Colossians 3:2, believers are instructed to 'set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.' This act of setting our affections involves a conscious decision to pursue spiritual truths, grow in our relationship with Christ, and engage with God’s Word. It challenges us to prioritize heavenly values over earthly distractions. As we deepen our commitment to prayer, worship, and fellowship, we naturally begin to focus on eternal matters, leading us to reflect Christ’s love and grace in our daily lives. Ultimately, this focus transforms our thoughts, actions, and motivations, aligning them with the purpose God has for us.
