    As christians all our actions and thoughts should be directed towards God
  • Rulyn Galapia on Colossians 3:23 - 10 years ago
    People with no Christ in their hearts tend to do things for their own honor and glory. But we Christians(saved by the precious Blood of Christ) should be vessels unto honor, which is to honor God in everything we do. There's no greater things to compare than doing it for God's glory. Let's just ask God for guidance that all that we are doing are only for God's honor and glory.
  • Victor Simwanza on Colossians 3:23 - 10 years ago
    I think the word is telling Us to do the works through JESUS CHRIST with good heart if they must be pleasing to GOD.
  • Rebekah vassar on Colossians 3:25 - 10 years ago
    by the grace of God we may all be saved
  • Rev. Autrey on Colossians 3:4 - 10 years ago
    "Christ who is your life." All life is in God. "In him we live and exist." This means that we exist in the mind of God as his congealed thoughts. What I mean is, God's mind is so powerful that his thoughts come together as whatever he desires. This is how matter is formed. And as long as God holds his thoughts in place, we exist.

    This is how Satan exist. He is nothing but a thought of God, who God gives the power to think and even to oppose God. But since he is nothing more than a mental creation, he is limited in what he can do.
  • Dianne on Colossians 3 - 10 years ago
    Commenting on 3:3....For ye are dead and your life is hid wit Christ in God! Powerful! sums it up for us because dead people can't lie cheat or steal...they can't do anything. So if we're dead to sin, why are we still acting as though we are alive? God forbid! Give it up and allow Christ to dominate!
  • Dora on Colossians 3 - 10 years ago
    I thank God for his word. It tells us how to live. IT is true daily we have to practice faith and read the word every day to help us in our growth in God. Lord fill us up with your word!
  • Justin on Colossians 3:23 - 10 years ago
    We were just taking about this scripture just last night?
    "And what so ever ya do, do it heartily , as to The Lord, and not unto men" col 2:23.
  • Patrick on Colossians 3:10 - 10 years ago
    And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: When a sinner is saved the old man dies and God creates a brand new man in Christ.This knowledge of Gods creation, without mans intervention of religion reafirms for us God's grace which is freely given to those who trust in Paul's gospel alone 1 Corinthians 15:3,4. This is our hope and salvation from the sin nature and the wrath to come.
  • Kenneth campbell on Colossians 3:8 - 10 years ago
    many and most christians are left, trying in and of their own willpower to put off the deeds of the flesh ,which these are,and failing miserably. so,the answer is the cross,by exercising faith in jesus christ,daily, i can do all things through HIM,and through HIM alone. we overcome by the blood of the lamb. denying self and embracing what HE did at the cross not only for our salvation but also for our sanctification and for deliverance.
  • One on Colossians 3 - 10 years ago
    Wow! the Holy Spirit really rose up in Paul on this chapter; This chapter should definitely be read, and meditated on daily; such strong nourishment, just what we all need: clear instruction with authority. BLESS THE NAME OF THE LORD, FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK, AND POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWOEDGED SWORD,PIERCING EVEN TO THE DIVIDING ASUNDER OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, AND OF THE JOINTS AND MARROW, AND IS A DISCERNER OF THE THOUGHTS, AND INTENTS OF THE HEART; WHICH IS SAID IN HEBREWS 4:12. Wow!
  • Steven on Colossians 3:5 - 10 years ago
    I love this verse, it has a way of well, delivering me from any carnality.
  • RIA on Colossians 3:9 - 10 years ago
    In 2nd Corinthians 5:17 IT STATES THAT IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST JESUS HE IS A NEW CREATURE OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY AND ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW SO THEREFORE IF YOU ARE TRUELY REBORN AGAIN THEN YOU DO NOT DO THE SINFUL THINGS THAT YOU USED TO DO IN 1ST JOHN 3:9 IT SAYS THAT IF YOU HAVE TRULY REPENTED AND ARE BORN OF GOD YOU CAN NOT SIN BECAUSE HIS SEED(JESUS) REMAINTETH IN YOU AND YOU CAN NOT SIN BECAUSE YOU ARE BORN OF GOD AND PEOPLE WHO ARE BORN OF GOD WILL NOT CONTINUE TO LIE PERIOD.
  • Dorcas Wandia Musyoki on Colossians 3 - 10 years ago
    I appreciate this chapter, Colossians Chapter 3 verse 15 teaches us to have the right attitude and entire chapter also teaches on how to live with the society,according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
  • Cheri on Colossians 3 - 10 years ago
    I FEEL DEEP IN MY HEART THAT I NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN WHAT I SAY. I HAVE NOT BEEN VERY CAREFUL ON THAT, AND THAT HURTS ME. WHAT I NEED TO DO IS STOP AND ASK MYSELF �WOULD JESUS BE HERE, OR SAY THAT? WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?� GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
  • George on Colossians 3 - 11 years ago
    Reminds all of us that our lives should be conducted, lived in holiness; and that how we live is being carefully watched by our wonderful savior and we will receive recompense at the judgment seat for both the good and bad we have done!
  • Zippie T Birch on Colossians 3 - 11 years ago
    This my favourite chapter. It teaches me a lot about my daily life. I love you Jesus!
  • JANELL on Colossians 3:17 - 11 years ago
    It tells me that everything we do and say is to be done in "Jesus� name", not the trinity, father, son and the holy ghost. It clearly says in Jesus� name.
  • Beth lagak on Colossians 3:21 - 11 years ago
    I can relate to this verse. I would like fathers to love and accept their children as they are gifts from GOD. For fathers to give love and more understanding to their children and not hurt them with harsh words and not give them body aches.
  • Benis on Colossians 3 - 11 years ago
    Colossians 3 can be summarized under complete renewal of our mind. As believers, we are called to work by the spirit and not the flesh, for what the flesh wants is spelled out in verses 5 and 8, and the spirit wants love joy. We can go back to Galatians 5. Believers you are dead to life (flesh) verse 3, Christ spirit lives in you, walk therefore in that spirit. Believers are called therefore to set their treasures on things above (verse 1) and not on the things of this world (if we shall work by the spirit we will not gratify the desires of this world/flesh.
  • Lori on Colossians 3:12 - 11 years ago
    Very hard to do. I understand the compassion part but I am human and as a human, I do have some trust issues.
  • Rachel Williams on Colossians 3 - 11 years ago
    Colossians 3:1, as children of God, risen with Christ I realize that I have to leave things of the world behind me and look towards the things of God.
  • Berthia B Frazier on Colossians 3:12 - 11 years ago
    Because chosen by the Holy God that we must be also with compassion for His people REGARDLESS.
  • Merline Daley on Colossians 3 - 11 years ago
    This passage of scripture challenges the believer to be renewed in his/her mind. First we need to watch our motives and actions while we walk daily. Are we serving God or our selfish ambitions? It shows us what our Christian walk should be like.
  • Anthony alcanar on Colossians 3:23 - 11 years ago
    So many people in this world, didn't see how God is good, He prepared everything, just to seek and to save to those who not seen the light of the word of our savior, who died on the cross for our sins.
    Believed, trust and obey for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey......
  • Timothy Oyedele on Colossians 3 - 11 years ago
    Colossians 3 has many revelations - (a) the place of the Lord Jesus as the right hand 'person' of the father (b)as jointheirs with Christ, the condition to reign with Christ or be where he is is holiness, Lord Jesus declared that the prince of this world checked on him and found no fault. Dos and donts have been spelt out in the chapter. (c)every party in any kind of relationship should realise each party has his/her role to play and play very well for things to go on smoothly - the world todayis full of people who want benefits without responsibility (d)Church workers who constitute a special kind of servants should do everything in the consciuousness that their deeds are open to heavenly master, to do eye-service is to miss the mark, for God cannot be mocked whatever a man sows that he would reap- Gal 6:7
  • Olaniyan Akinyemi on Colossians 3:23 - 11 years ago
    2Timothy2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Whatever you want to do it with Gods mind. Do not do eye service.
  • Timothy Wayne George on Colossians 3 - 11 years ago
    We are to set of sight on heaven where Jesus is at the right hand of the father, and make sure that all of our relationships of earth are right with God. As Christians we should forgive anyone that may have wronged us, and look to God to repay them for what they have done, for God does not respect man. Also we should do our jobs as unto to the Lord, who shall reward us justly for what we have done. Husbands are to love their wives, and not be bitter toward them. Also fathers are not to provoke their children to wrath. When we do this the world will see what a true christian home looks like, and we will be happy when Jesus returns to take us to heaven to live in our eternal home. So let us rejoice and be heavenly minded, and do the works of him that sent us while it is day, for when night comes no man can work.
  • Lawrence on Colossians 3:17 - 12 years ago
    When it comes to standards and motives of what we do and say, 3:17 is the yardstick. The purpose of everything we do and say should be to glorify God through Christ Jesus. Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit is our enabler and we should appreciate God always for that. Some of what we do needs extra moral strength and grace: forgiveness, gentleness, perseverance, loving ones enenmies and patiance for instance; without due recourse to the source of power, such couldnt be done at all. This is where the world fails and baffles at christains.

    Two, "without me you can do nothing," Jesus said, so in His name we receive the power to do everything unhindered, because only in his name power is, unto salvation and performance.

    The verse is to help believers have a renewed mindset to influence what they do and say by way of standards: Chrsit is righteous and everything done and said in his name should be no lesser. Be it office work, shopping, household chores, conversation, scientific and technical endeavours.... having Jesus at the back of ones mind makes a great difference on how you approach everything in life.

    We are disciples of Jesus what ever we do should glorify God through Jesus ( 1 Co 10:31), or should be a light (Mathew 5:16 ) shinning in a world at pitch darkness of sin and wickedness. This is one of my several memory scriptures after planning all for the day, meditation upon it keeps me in fellowship without to much ado.
  • Ruth on Colossians 3 - 12 years ago
    I love the third chapter of Colossians.when you receive the baptism of the holy ghost (the spirit of God that quickens your soul and brings it alive) and find the Body of Christ, that is where you'll find the truth on this chapter of Colos.because you find God's Divine Order, a ministry that has been called and Ordained by God (not by man)according to Ephesians chpt.4 that's where you'll find the truth on all the scriptures.
    They that hunger and thrist after Righteous shall be filled; according to the scriptures. Once i received the gift of the Holy Ghost my soul was risen from the dead, and now i can seek those things above, because now im in the Body of Christ, where God is the head of Christ, Christ is head of man, and man is the head of the woman....I can now set my affections on things above and not on things of the earth. my life is hid with Christ in God,my soul can be perfected and one day receive Eternal Life. The scripture says: "you shall know the truth, and the truth shall "make" you free.
