removing the eye and hand.–Mark 9 records hand, foot, and eye.• Hand = Active Commission of Sin• Foot = Transportation to Sin• Eye = Temptation to Go to Sin
• And…

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and
perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2

What is “The World?”• Read 1 John 2:15-17–V15: Anything substitute to your
love of The Father. (Also Luke 14:26)–V16: “Everything in the world”• Cravings of sinful man.• Lust of his eyes.• Boasting of what he has and does.
–V17: Temporary, Opposite God’s Will

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will
appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:4

Christ’s Glory• Read 1 John 3:1-3–“BEHOLD what manner of love the
Father hath bestowed on us.”–Sons, not subjects.–“What we will be has not yet been
made known.”–“We shall be like Him.”–This hope yields purity.

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the
image of its Creator.
Colossians 3:9-10

Internal Honesty• The sins listed in verse 8 seem to
have a general application.
• Verse 9 seems to address honesty among believers and/or ourselves. –How do you interpret the
application?

Hard-Core Equality• Compare Galatians 3:28 with
Colossians 3:11…–What difference stands out
between the two versions?–Scythians were savage, war-like
nomads that had left images and memories of horror in their wake.

Hard-Core Equality• We are reminded that there are
no grounds for looking down upon any class or division in the Body of Christ.
• Regarding anyone as inferior is counter to The Lord’s character and teaching.– i.e. washing the feet of the
disciples

Hard-Core Equality• “Christ is all and is in all…”
• The ONLY supremacy we are to know is Christ.

The Peace of Christ• Verse 15 – What is the “peace of
Christ?”
![Page 15: Senior Moment…](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568164ba550346895dd6c523/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and
do not be afraid.
John 14:27

Foundation Stones• In verse 15:–We are encouraged to let the
peace of Christ “rule our hearts” and that we were “called to peace.”
–We are also told to be thankful.
• What would the results be?
