Our Life in Christ


Colossians 3:1-17                                                                                              

When we accept Christ into our lives, not only do we have someone to share every aspect of our lives with, we also take on a new identity.

When we speak to one another, we must be truthful.  Also, we must strive to do so without anger, slander, or abusive language.  Instead, use compassion, kindness, and patience, so that everyone may see Christ in us.  If we are wronged by someone, forgive that person as we have been forgiven.

As we partake of the cup each Sunday, we drink the grace of Jesus.  He gave His life so that we may live.  Also, when we stand before the cross, we are standing in His grace.  It is by grace, not our deeds, that we are given the gift of eternal life.

With the love and peace of Christ in our hearts, we can come together as Christian soldiers to do the will of God—such as sharing His word and wisdom.  With gratitude in our hearts, we will sing His praises and be thankful for what God has done for us.  Let everything we do be in His name and give all the glory to Him.

Prayer:  Our Heavenly Father, thank you for always listening to us.  Thank you for giving us such a wonderful gift:  your son, Jesus Christ.  Help us to keep the love and peace of Christ in our hearts so that others may see Jesus in all that we do and say.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.
