It's time for the saints of God to put into practice, to live out in their day to day lives, the reality of Kingdom living.  This can only be done by stepping up into Kingdom consciousness.  Paul wrote to the Colossians Church, encouraging them to awake, to step up, to remember who they were.  He reminded them of what had been true in the past:  the evidence of the Spirit in them; their faith in God; the love for all who were also set apart to Christ; etc.  He asked them, in essence, several questions to help them become more conscious of the Kingdom and the fact that they were losing their way.  Ask yourself "Where are you right now in Christ?"
