“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”
Colossians 3:12 (NIV)
For a Christian acting Godlike is as simple as putting on clothes.
Off to the value village with the old outfit - for there will always be someone who wants to wear anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language. We are new people, born again, alive in Christ who is alive in us, and the old clothes don’t do the new us justice!
Put on the new clothes of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness and love and let the peace of Christ rule on the inside. Whatever we do in these bodies, let us do it unto our Lord, in His Name, for His glory,
knowing that He will reward us with an inheritance that will never fade.
knowing that He will reward us with an inheritance that will never fade.
It is no coincidence that the first attribute a Christian should wear is the first attribute listed in God’s description of Himself on Mt Sinai - compassionate!
May we this day take action towards someone out of our heart of love for them, not waiting for them to somehow earn or deserve our help.
