Dressing Appropriately: Putting on the Garment of Kindness

August 10th, 2007

A few weeks ago I brought up the idea of dressing appropriately as Christians. I am not talking about modesty or cleanliness though. I am speaking metaphorically. Look at what the Apostle Paul says in Colossians old clothes3:12-14.

Colossians 3:12-14
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

Today, I would like to offer some help in putting on the garment of kindness. Perhaps you haven’t worn this garment in a while. Perhaps its dusty and hard to even find in your closet. Let me offer some help.

The Apostle Paul tells us how to dress appropriately for the Christian life. Take a look…

Colossians 3:12-14
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

Today, I would like to offer some help in putting on the garment of patience. Perhaps you haven’t warn this garment very much lately and have a hard time fitting into it. Let me offer some help.
