What does the Bible say about setting our affection on Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible instructs us to set our affections on things above, specifically on Christ, as our life is hidden with Him in God (Colossians 3:2).

The Bible, particularly in Colossians 3:2, teaches us to set our affection on things above and not on things on the earth. This instruction stems from the fact that believers are spiritually resurrected in Christ and should fix their hearts and minds on Him, who is seated at the right hand of God. Paul emphasizes that true affection for Christ can only be achieved through the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration, enabling believers to desire and seek Christ above all earthly things. Setting our minds on Christ positions us for continual spiritual growth and rightly shapes our understanding of our identity in Him.
