Love!

For Wednesday, July 07, 2021

Colossians 3:14 CEV: “Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together.”

Paul was teaching the Colossians what Jesus taught. Christ would repeatedly return to what we call the summary of the Law. The short version is, “Love God, and love your neighbor!” These Biblical principles were written a long time before, but people just weren’t getting it right. Jesus encouraged us to love one another. A Christian’s first response should be to be nice, to be helpful. Others saw the fellowship, the koinonia, the community of the brothers and sisters, they liked what they saw, and wanted to be a part of it. Christianity grew through attraction – people wanted “in!”

Believers should be living a good life, full of love, full of hope! Decide when you wake up that today is going to be a good day! Tell your face!
