What does the Bible say about seeking things above?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible instructs believers to seek things which are above, where Christ is, rather than focusing on earthly distractions.
In Colossians 3:1-2, we are commanded to seek those things which are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. This means we must aim at and crave spiritual realities rather than the temporary distractions of this world. As believers, we recognize that our true life is hidden with Christ in God, urging us to prioritize our affections toward eternal values rather than earthly ones. Seeking Christ transforms our focus and aligns our hearts with our ultimate hope and treasure, which is found in Him.
