Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 NIV
How blessed we are to be called God’s chosen people. How wonderful that the creator of everything has chosen each of us to be His people. Being a child of God far exceeds being the child of anyone else; of any human, or any nation, or ancestry.
With being God’s children, we carry responsibilities which those of this world do not carry. We are to clothe ourselves, with that which is not of this world; compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. There are some of this earth who may have some of these attributes, but we are charged to clothe ourselves with all of them. We must do this in order to follow our Lord, as He is the epitome of all these attributes. These are all characteristics of a true Christian.
We must forgive everyone, just as our Lord has forgiven us. We have done nothing to deserve the forgiveness we have been offered through Christ. It is offered from the love, compassion, and grace of God. We must for our part be willing to accept this gracious gift, and turn our lives over to Jesus Christ.
All these wonderful virtues mentioned above are tied up together, bound in true love. Christ has said much about love. We who know Him know His commands about love. With love at the center of our being, we can be clothed with the virtues herein. Let the love of Christ rule your heart, mind, and soul. In Christ we are blessed in all ways forever.
