And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love. Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony.
LOVE
The Lord gives us the ability to love. He commands us to love one another. You love because Jesus first loved you. Love one another.

You must make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Forgive. That is not a request it is a command. Forgive others because the Lord forgave you.
07/13 Colossians 3:12
Since God chose you to be the holy people whom he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

We are God’s Holy People. Jesus died for our sin and His free gift to us is making us members of God’s family. We live in His victory forever.
07/12 Colossians 3:11
In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
CHRIST
Whatever we face, whatever we need Jesus Christ is the solution. Christ is our victory. He sets us free. Jesus is God’s everything.
07/11 Colossians 3:10
In its place you have clothed yourselves with a brand-new nature that is continually being renewed as you learn more and more about Christ, who created this new nature within you.
DAILY
We like to finalize things. Been there done THAT! The normal Christian life is lived daily. We are constantly dealing with our sin, desperately in need of forgiveness often on an hourly basis and living in victory because we believe Jesus that we are saved by grace through faith. It is a free gift of God.
07/10 Colossians 3:6-9
God’s terrible anger will come upon those who do such things. 7 You used to do them when your life was still part of this world. 8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9 Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old evil nature and all its wicked deeds.
CHOICES
We reap what we sow. If we live our life on our own, refusing to acknowledge the Lord, managing our life and ignoring the Lord we will reap at the end a conclusion that we have chosen. When we refuse to follow the Lord the end result is a path that leads to destruction. Our choices determine our path.
07/09 Colossians 3:5
So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don’t be greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry.
RELAX
We are called to live a life of abundance knowing that the victory is won. You cannot do that unless you have the right attitude: God is in control, Jesus loves you and you are valuable. Relax. Your life is worthwhile. Don’t live in poverty instead claim the abundance of a relationship with Jesus.
07/08 Colossians 3:4
And when Christ, who is your real life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
FAMILY
We are in the Family of God. Jesus has saved us. We partner together with Him becoming His hands and feet and voice. Jesus is alive in us and when all things are done we will rule together with Him.
07/07 Colossians 3:3
For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
ETERNAL
We are eternal creatures and when we ask Jesus to save us He does for eternity. No one, no thing can separate us from the Jesus. He is our Savior and is always looking out for our best good.
