In order to share the risen life of Christ, Paul recommends to the Colossians to set their minds on

Paul recommends to the Colossians to set their minds on doing the will of God in order to share the risen life of Christ. In Colossians 3:1-2, Paul instructs the Colossians to set their hearts and minds on things above where Christ is, and to put to death their earthly desires. He then goes on to give practical instructions on how to live a life that is pleasing to God, including putting on virtues such as compassion, kindness, humility, and forgiveness. By doing these things, the Colossians would be able to share in the life of Christ and reflect His character to the world.
