"Keep Your Minds Fixed on the Things Above" - CONCLUSION OF KEEPING OUR MINDS FIXED ON THE THINGS ABOVE

Our support:  It is God's purpose that "those in heaven and those on earth" submit to Jesus.  (Philippians 2:9-11)  Even though Jesus has a very important position, he humbly submits to his Father. We should do the same. ( 1 Corinthians 15:28)   We share in Jehovah's wok when we "make disciples of all the nations." (Matthew 28:19) We also "work what is good toward all" when we do good things for our neighbors and for our brothers. - GALATIANS 6:10) 

We are so grateful that Jehovah tells us to keep our minds fixed on the things above!  We need to "run with endurance" and stay focused on the right things. (Hebrews 12:1)  Let us be determined to work "whole-souled as for Jehovah," knowing that our heavenly Father will bless us richly. - COLOSSIANS 3:23, 24.

SOME EXPRESSIONS EXPLAINED

* Keep your minds fixed on the things above": We do this when we put Jehovah and his Kingdom first in our lives. We are always thinking about how Jehovah feels and views matters, and we think about future blessings he had promised us. These thoughts affect how we behave, speak, and use our life.
