Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12
Christ is the image of the invisible God. We must recognize and emulate, or clothe ourselves in, the virtues God revealed to us through His Son.
Becoming a Christian means change from an old life to a new. The former was self-centered, the present is centered on the qualities that Jesus modeled while in the flesh. Our behavior must be reshaped in the mold or likeness of Christ.
These characteristics were Christ’s priority. They must be our’s also.
Love,
