So, today, being Valentine’s Day, means the world is talking about love

As Believers, we should be thinking about love every day

Colossians 3:1-17 NASB

The first verse of this chapter reminds us of a reality of where our thoughts should be

Seek things above if you have been raised with Christ

Our minds should be focused on things above to make a difference here

 
Vs 5 lists many things we should be dead to because they all lead to idolatry

Idolatry means we are consumed with something besides God

This keeps us from our true love

 
Revelation talks about the wrath of God being poured out

Remember believer, you once were a son of disobedience

 
As believers, there are more things that we must put aside

While we are doing this, we are being renewed

We also call this sanctification and it is a process that continues until Glory

This renewal is for every believer, no matter any worldly differences

 
In this fallen world, all these things are hard to put aside, but we can through Christ
 
 
This is how we put those things aside

DO you recognize any of the things in these verses?

Yes, they are the fruit of the Spirit, which all believers have been given

It is through this fruit that we can overcome the evil of this world

There is one thing that is greater than any other; that is LOVE

 
Put on Love, this means we have to do it every day

We put on love just like putting on clothes; we clothe ourselves in it

When we clothe ourselves with love, it covers all those other things

It is a perfect bond of unity!

Being United in Love is exactly where believers need to be today

This unified love is exactly what the world needs to see

When we put on God’s love, we are able to do what vs 15-16 tell us
 
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you

 
The greatest of these is Love, God’s Love!

Do you know God’s love today?
