How should Christians live in light of being raised with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Christians are called to seek heavenly things and live according to their new identity in Christ.

In Colossians 3:1-2, believers are urged to set their minds on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. This directive underscores the necessity for Christians to detach from worldly values and pursuits, instead focusing on their true identity as raised with Christ. This new life begins with a recognition that we are dead to sin and alive to God (Romans 6:11). Hence, our conduct should reflect our position in Christ—allowing His grace and truth to shape our behavior and relationships. As we daily 'put off' sinful habits and 'put on' the virtues that reflect Christ (Colossians 3:9-12), we exhibit the transformative power of the gospel in our lives.
