Colossians 3:14
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Paul instructs believers to put on love as the perfect bond that holds all virtues together.
Love is like a belt that holds the other virtues in place—compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Without love binding them together, these qualities fall apart. Love is the completing virtue that brings perfect unity and maturity to Christian character.
Apply This Today
As you practice other Christian virtues today, let love be the binding force that holds them all together in perfect harmony.
Prayer
Father, help me clothe myself with love that binds all other virtues together. Make me complete in love as I grow in Christlikeness. Amen.
