What does it mean to set your affections on things above?

Answered in 2 sources

Setting your affections on things above means prioritizing spiritual values and focusing on Christ rather than earthly desires.

In Colossians 3:2, Paul commands us to set our affections on things above, which signifies a deliberate choice to cultivate a mindset focused on spiritual matters rather than temporal concerns. This involves evaluating our desires, thoughts, and priorities, aiming to align them with God’s will and His glory. A Christian’s life is transformed upon regeneration, creating new desires for what honors God. As we seek heavenly things, we are reminded that our true identity and purpose are found in Christ. This shift of focus serves to strengthen our faith and resilience against worldly distractions and temptations.
