Sometimes we give things more recognition and phrases then we give to God. Certain things like a football game. Something that we wouldn’t imagine would make much difference. The Lord our God is a jealous God (Deuteronomy 6:15). And He would like to see his people be just as excited about worshiping as they do watching football.
Colossians 3:1-4 is telling the readers that the things of this world are not important. Materialistic things are not what gets you into heaven. (Matt. 16:26) ask what good is if a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul. If man seek God kingdom first than all other things should be added unto him (Matt 6:33). Colossians is basically letting us know that Christ is seeking man as passionately as we see materialistic things. As we visit different translations of the Bible, it cannot be overlooked that the language may be different but guys mean instate the same.
