Col 3:12-13
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.

We have been chosen of God.
We are holy.
We are beloved.

This is who we are in the Lord.
We do not have to “try and be” a particular way.
It is who we are as a new creation.
We are called, instructed, commanded to walk within who we are.
Not to do something we are not.
We are to be who we are as the chosen of God.

We are to put on a heart…

• of compassion
• of humility
• of gentleness
• of patience

• bear with one another
• forgive one another…forgive as the Lord forgave/forgives us.
