This week’s segment of Colossians for Christie is short and sweet. We are coming down to the end of this particular study from Colossians 3. Before we look at verse 15 next week, I thought I would take this opportunity to wrap up what we now find in our new closet. We have filled our heart’s closet with qualities found in Colossians 3:12-14. We have topped our new ‘outfits’ with love. Now, it is important to keep our closet fresh and clean.
Here is a suggestion for keeping it that way.
Everyday when I begin my Bible reading, I start with reading Colossians 3:12-14. I read it from a Bible that has those three verses in paragraph form instead of as three separate verses. Somehow, seeing it as a one thought paragraph has a greater effect and serves as a strong reminder of what we should be ‘wearing’ everyday.
Colossians 3:12-14~“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 whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”
Join me in reading, better yet, memorizing, this passage, and let’s all make it apart of your daily wardrobe.
(A detailed study of the qualities discussed in this passage can be found in recent archives of “Light Thoughts’.)
Keep your closet fresh and clean!
