A New Life in Christ
In the conclusion of the Colossian epistle, Paul details the practical, everyday aspects of Christian life. A Christian is to shun immoral and vulgar behavior. Greed, lust, cursing, sexual immorality should never be named among believers.(3:5-10). A believer is to be clothed with humility, kindness, and love, displaying the grace and mercy of Christ, forgiving those who offend them, and binding themselves together with other believers.
Paul reiterates what he wrote to the church in Ephesus in Ephesians 5: Wives submit to husbands, husbands love wives, children obey parents, parents do not provoke children, slaves obey masters, and masters treat slaves with respect. This may sound prosaic, but it is essential to living a Holy Ghost filled life and a life that brings honor to the Lord Jesus.
May the Lord bless you and bless the reading of His Word.
