Colossians 3:12 " Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness and longsuffering:
We are children of the most high God, and as such we should look and dress different than the people of the world. Our lives are based on different things, we focus on the heavenly and not the earthy. We esteem others higher than our self as we are self sacrificing by nature. We are clothe in the righteousness of our Father which art in heaven.
we have taken off the old man and his ways. We are now dressed in the newness of Christ. We have exchanged the malice of the old man with bowels of mercy. We forgive those who do us wrong, and we pray for those who would out of spite use us. We are kind when it is not wanted or appreciated. We speak with a kind word and we act with kind actions that all might see the salvation of the Lord working in our life. We are humble as we put the needs of other above the wants of our self. We are patient with other as we realize that God was patient with us. These are the some of the clothes of God's righteousness that His children are dressed in that allows us to have love one for another.
We are the elect of God, holy and beloved and we now must walk in a newness of life. Dressed in a new attitude that we might lead a world trapped in darkness to Jesus the light of the world.
