Living the Risen Life (Colossians 3:1–4) John MacArthur

Summary

To effectively reach the world with God's truth, Christians must first disengage from worldly preoccupations and gain a heavenly perspective, as exemplified by Jesus and the Apostle Paul. Scriptures like John 8:23, John 18:36, and Romans 12:2 emphasize this need to not be conformed to this world but transformed by renewing our minds. The practical takeaway is that our spiritual lives in the "heavenlies" empower us to impact the earthly realm with divine truth.
