Colossians 3:1–17. Those who are united to Christ will put sin to death and live like Christ. What can help us put our sin to death? Paul tells us to seek the things that are above, where Christ is, and to set our minds on things above.

Colossians 2:8–23. For those in Christ, there is no longer any condemnation, and with that, he defeated the enemy. No longer do we have a record of debt against us, so we no longer need to obtain right standing with God by following a set of rules. Instead all we need to do is live in Christ.
