Today we are reading Colossians 3. In this chapter we read about rules for holy living. “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:12-17 ESV You could have a list of rules that you followed like a recipe and still be miserable. This list comes from and is fed by a relationship with Jesus. If you have experienced the love of Jesus and you believe in Him as your Savior, you will supernaturally be more loving and focused on helping others. His love for you guides your love for others. May God bless you to be filled to overflowing with His love! Pastor Tim
