Colossians, part 2
In the third and fourth
chapters of Colossians Paul reminded Christians how they should live. They
should think about the things in heaven because they belong with Christ. They
should not do evil deeds. Instead, they should love other people. And they
should serve God.
Paul gives us “rules” for
holy living. Here they are:
1. Set your
hearts and minds on things above.
2. Deny
your earthly nature of sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and
greed.
3. Rid
yourselves of anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language.
4. Do not
lie to each other.
5. Be
compassionate, kind, humble, gentle, and patient.
6. Bear
with one another and forgive whatever grievances you may have.
7. Put on
love and let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.
8. Be
thankful.
9. Let the
word of Christ dwell in you.
10. Do all
things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through
him.
