Colossians 3: Living a holy life

1. Focus on things above v1
- it is difficult to be focused
- lives are unfocused & undisciplined
- holy living is only possible for those who are saved
- we are to focus on things in phil4:8 (Finally, brothers, whatever is
true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy—think about such things.)

2. Flush away earthly things
- you cannot hold hands with Satan and walk with Christ
- flush away things (sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires
and greed. anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language)
- put to death
- pack our mind with heavenly things instead of thinking "don't do bad
things okay"
- 1Peter1:14

3. Fill up with the Word v16
- the Word read, meditated, applied, & ingrained
- by default, choices & decision are based upon the Word
- read the Word of God
