Passage: Colossians 3:1-11
Lord’s Day 3 outlines our basic problem: we’re not who we were created to be. We’ve debased ourselves by our rebellion against God. We’ve starved ourselves of light and life as we’ve pulled away from God’s presence. We are corrupt to the point of being nearly unrecognizable versions of the beautiful image-bearers God designed.
But Lord’s Day 3 asserts that there is hope. We can be remade - “born again” - by God’s Spirit. In Colossians 3 Paul talks about life as a person remade by God. Turn away, says Paul, from habits that hurt you and the people around you. Seek your sustenance not in the spiritual junk food that has malnourished you to the point of death. Instead find your life in the source of all life. Leave behind your old self and try on something new.
