"And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness." ~Colossians 3:14 (KJV)
SISTAH DECLARATION:
Love is what holds my life and relationships together, and makes my faith work!!
The word "charity" means love. Today we are going to put on some new clothes...the clothing of the supernatural love of God. This love supersedes what someone has done to you. It supersedes what they may have said to you. It is supernatural, and that love, God's love, is on the inside of you! There is the old way that you used to dress, which characterized your old nature. But today, you can put on the new clothes of the love of God that characterizes your nature now that you are in Christ.
Now your body may not want to love. It may want to fight. But you are not a body. You are a spirit being made in the image and likeness of God, born again with the nature of God. And that godly nature in you is to love.
And your mind may not yet have been renewed or caught up to what's happening on the inside yet. It still may be thinking evil thoughts of getting even with somebody. But on the inside of you is the nature of God. And the nature of God is to let the anger and strife go. That love is the bond of perfectness. Love is what holds your life and relationships together; and it is what makes your faith work.
