What does it mean to set our minds on things above?

Answered in 1 source

To set our minds on things above means to focus on Christ and prioritize spiritual truths over worldly concerns (Colossians 3:2).

Setting our minds on things above involves deliberately shifting our focus from earthly distractions to the eternal truths of Scripture, exemplified by Christ’s position of authority at God’s right hand. This contrasts with worldly teachings that emphasize temporal matters and human ideals, which only lead to spiritual bondage. In Colossians 3:2, Paul encourages believers to exercise their minds towards Christ, fostering an attitude of worship and reliance on Him. This practice nurtures our spiritual lives and strengthens our resolve to live out our faith in accordance with God's will, impacting not only our lives but also those around us.
