Fix Your Gaze_10. Colossians 3:1-4 In this sermon from the “Dwelling Richly” series, based on Colossians 3:16, we explore the importance of setting our focus on Christ and the eternal realities He represents. THE DEMANDS OF THE BELIEVERS NEW LIFE I. Pursuing Heavenly Desires (Colossians 3:1) II. Engaging Heavenly Thoughts (Colossians 3:2) III. Embracing Eternal Perspectives (Colossians 3:3-4)Paul urges us to “fix our gaze” on the things above in chapter 3:1-4, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. This means shifting our attention away from temporary, earthly concerns and placing it firmly on the eternal truths and values found in Christ. By doing so, we align our lives with God’s will and reflect His character more fully.Colossians 3:1-4 calls us to seek the things above, where our identity is hidden with Christ in God. Our daily lives and decisions should be influenced by this heavenly perspective. As we dwell on Christ and His Word, as instructed in Colossians 3:16, we let His teachings richly inhabit our hearts, transforming our behavior and relationships.In essence, fixing our gaze on Christ allows us to live out our faith with purpose and clarity, making choices that honor God and build His kingdom. This focus not only brings personal growth but also fosters a deeper sense of community and connection within the Body of Christ.
