When I read this passage I got a picture of an extreme "HEART" makeover. Christ takes our old heart....full of evil...demolishes the old...and builds us a brand new heart...a new life.
"Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to it's rules:" (Colossians 2:20)
Christ is building us a new fabulous home...yet we are trying to return to the old filthy house that has been demolished. How foolish we are!!!! Why return to our old ways...the of this world...when Christ has such a wonderful life for us?
When we choose to follow Christ, we exchange the old for the new. That is why when we are baptised the pastor often says, "the old has gone...the new has come."
"having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead."(vers 12) Now that is an extreme heart makeover!
