Christians seek things above by focusing on eternal truths and living in light of Christ's reign.
To seek things that are above, as directed in Colossians 3:1-2, involves prioritizing spiritual over earthly matters. This means setting our minds on Christ, who is seated at the right hand of God, recognizing Him as our ultimate treasure and source of joy. It also entails living according to the values of God's kingdom and pursuing holiness and righteousness, meaning our thoughts and actions reflect our identity as those risen with Christ. As we immerse ourselves in the Scriptures, fellowship with believers, and bear witness to the gospel, we cultivate a mindset aligned with Christ, focusing on eternal promises rather than temporary earthly concerns.
