Scripture: Colossians 3:14 New
Living Translation (NLT) – 3:14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which
binds us all together in perfect harmony. Message
Bible (MSG) – 3:12-14 So, chosen by God for this new life of love,
dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility,
quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick
to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave
you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic,
all-purpose garment. Never be without it. What
Does It Mean? Love is the glue, the outfit and the only way to
walk into spiritual truths and love, which is through Jesus Christ because His
sacrificial body is the transporter that places us into the presence of God who
is LOVE. 1 John 4:8-10 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the
world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but
that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. How
Can I Apply It? Without God’s love actively working in our lives
everyday we will fall to pieces, our lives will be scattered all about and we
will be expose without the proper clothing to withstand the attacks against us
(John 10:10). It is possible and maybe a true statement for many of us, that
when parts of us are not glued and covered with God’s love life may seem to be
more confusing, frustrating, chaotic, unfulfilled, hostile, and incomplete. Personal
Statement: I must purposely connect with God and cover
myself with the full armor of the Lord (Eph. 10:6-17) because He is my shield
(Psalm 28:7) that keeps me covered and although earthly situations will come my
way; God will keep me protected (Isa. 54:17) and in one piece so that I can LIVE in PEACE. |
