Where Do I Set My Mind?

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. –Colossians 3:1–3

I do not know how it could be possible to set our mind on things that are not on this earth. Everything which surrounds us is on this earth. I am on this earth. The only possible way to set my mind on something above this earth is I suppose to gain knowledge of the things above this earth. And the only place I know of to truly learn of things above this earth is in the Bible. Therefore in order to obey this command to set my mind on things that are above, you and I must give ourselves to the study of the Scriptures. Anything less is disobedience.
