Good morning, Friends, 

Colossians 3:14- Colossians 3:14 LSB

[14] Above all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

The Apostle Paul finished encouraging the saints to put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness. Then he wraps it up with the statement, "above all these things put on love".

Nothing bonds Belelievers together so strong and resilient as love does. Love has this characteristic of powerfully pulling things together in the same direction, which causes those objects to masterfully multiply the source, blossoming into its greatest potential. The greatest potential of "me" is "we". 

This is the heart song of born again believers!

Check ✔️ it out, we (born-again Believers)will never fit in with this world. We will never cultivate a relationship with this world that mirrors or is likened to the relationship that we have with Christ and each other. Sadly, we can miss the importance of a strong relationship with each other, choosing rather instead, to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. However, because we ARE the body of Christ, the assembly, the congregation, we should be operating in the love that Christ has commanded we walk in toward each other. This is how we are identified. If the world sees chaos between us, fighting, destruction, war, offense,  then that provides a testimony against us that we are not biblically representing God. 

Let's put on love, compassion, forgiveness, kindness, humility, and gentleness. 

We got work to do!!! Clock ⌚ IN, let's get it!!!

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  

Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace
