The document discusses focusing our thinking upward according to God's truth by seeking things above where Christ is seated at God's right hand. Since we have been raised with Christ through baptism into a new life, we should set our minds on heavenly things rather than earthly things. We can focus upward through dying to sin and the world, and by looking forward to our eternal inheritance with Christ. Upward thinking involves renewing our minds according to Christ and putting away sins like wickedness, anger, and lying. The closing encourages maintaining an upward focus by putting off the old self and putting on the renewed mindset.
