Title: Put on the Character of Jesus
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Colossians 3:12 KJV
Devotion: As children of God there are standards of life set by God and cannot be compromised. This is what Paul described to the brethren in Colosse.
The same applies to you and me today as children; we are admonished to "Clothe ourselves therefore, as God's own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), [who are] purified and holy and well-beloved [by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by] tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, [and] patience [which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper]". Colossians 3:12 AMPC.
Let us remember that we were bought with a price by He who loved us and gave up His life so that we may be saved. We cannot afford to disappoint Him in our ways. May God help us in Jesus name.
