As this new day begins, let us learn daily to set our affections on the eternal things of God. Once we are born again, we have been raised with Christ. The resurrection life of Christ places us in a new sphere and gives us a new aim in life.
Man views from a temporal perspective.
Our aim in life should be dominated by the pattern of life found in Christ. It is easy for us to become passive in our thinking. Yet the scriptures teach us that it is important to control our thoughts. Paul is not teaching that we should never think upon the things on earth, but that they should not be our aim or goal. Each day, the coming of our Lord gets closer.
