Sunday Series - Reigning in Life - The Kingdom's Guard

Text: Colossians 3:1-17.

A king doesn't guard his own palace. He has people, who perform that task. We have certain safeguards we can put into effect in our lives.

A lot of people think because they are saved by grace that means they can do whatever they want. Colossians and other scriptures debunk this theory. We're told to mortify (or put to death) our old man and put on the new man. The words, "put on," are the same as we use for getting dressed. It doesn't just happen, but requires intentional effort on our part.

What are some of the things were to "put on?"

Tender mercies

Kindness: "goodness of heart, kindness"

Humbleness: humiliation of mind, ie., modesty: humbleness of mind, humility (of mind), lowliness (of mind)

Meekness: "is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self-interest; it is equanimity of spirit that is neither elated nor downcast, simply because it is not occupied with self at all."

Bearing With One Another: Ephesians 4:1-3

Forgiving One Another

But Above All These Things: "put on love" Love is what binds us together in the Body of Christ.

Inward attributes of the new nature:

"Let the peace of God RULE" - To act as an umpire, to arbitrate or decide.

"Let the Word of Christ dwellin you richly..." Have a grateful heart.

And whatever you do in Word (speech) and deed (action), do it in the name of Jesus.

Use what God has given you: 1) Set your mind. 2) Put to death the old man and his ways. 3) Let the peace of God rule...
