Colossians 3:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Colossians 3:6

4 ^aWhen Christ who is ^bour life appears, then you also will appear with Him in ^cglory.

5 ^aTherefore put to death ^byour members which are on the earth: ^cfornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, ^dwhich is idolatry.

6 ^aBecause of these things the wrath of God is coming upon ^bthe sons of disobedience,

7 ^ain which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

8 ^aBut now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,

10 and have put on the new man who ^ais renewed in knowledge ^baccording to the image of Him who ^ccreated him,

11 where there is neither ^aGreek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, ^bbut Christ is all and in all.

Character of the New Man

12 Therefore, ^aas the elect of God, holy and beloved, ^bput on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

13 ^abearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

Colossians 3:2-11

He tells us that our world has changed here. We are supposed to be always thinking above the sun, always living above the sun. We are not under the sun spiritually anymore and so our minds have to be set on those things which are heavenly.

He is telling us here that we are being created anew. We are the new man. And as Charles put it years ago, the model of the new man is Christ Himself. And so no wonder Christ is all in all. We have been put into this body, Christ's Body, where there is no divisions—there should be no divisions between all of these different types of people—and we are to be totally focused on Christ. He is our everything. That is how change is made.
