Paul gives a virtue list to the Christian’s at Colossi in chapter three verse twelve. He says to put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Paul continues to with forgiveness and love. I think this is very good for every believer to look and ask themselves whether their life reflects these Christ like attribute. I believe the most important virtue comes in verse fourteen when Paul says to put on love. If we have love then compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience are taken care of. Paul declares that love is the perfect bond of unity. Having real unity within the church seems impossible but it is a necessity. It is well known that the church does not function the way it should without unity. The issue is that believers need to be able to love as Christ loved them.
