We are going through the book of Colossians on Sundays.
It is such a good study for today. Last Sunday was titled "watch me while I change" It was on Colossians 3: 1-11. On how we, as God's children, need to put off the bad.
Yesterday, we heard about how we are "all dressed up and somewhere to go!"
Our clothes reflect our calling and our Savior.
I am not talking about clothes made of cotton or wool.
Instead, I am talking of clothes of compassion, love, humility, etc.
We are called to put on:
1. Compassion- Luke 6:36- we need to be merciful just as our Father in Heaven is
2 .Kindness- Titus 3:4- God saved us because of His mercy
3. Humility- Matthew 11:29- humble and gentle at heart
4. Gentleness- Ephesians 4:2- Patient, with an allowance for faults
5. Patience- Romans 5:3,4- long suffering, endruance
6. Forgiveness Colossians 3:3- dead to this life, real life hidden in Christ
7. Love- 1John 3:16-18- real love: Christ gave up His life for us
8. Peace John 14:27- gift of God
What a responsibility!
Matthew 4:4- "People do not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God"
1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
