There are eight godly attitudes in Colossians 3:12–14 that are foundational to biblical peacemaking. But to understand them we need to understand the preceding context. In Colossians 3:1–4 the apostle reminds believers of their new spiritual position in Christ. We died with him, we were raised with him, and we will gloriously appear with him when h...
In Colossians 3:5–11 Paul describes the evil we must put off. Verses 12–14 set forth the eight attitudes we are to put on. The Greek New Testament verb translated “put on” or “clothe yourself with” continues the clothing metaphor begun with the “put off” exhortations in verses 5–11. Paul lays out eight articles of clothing that make up this outfit.
Compassion is that inward, deeply felt emotional response of pity for a suffering person, coupled with a desire to alleviate that suffering. Notice three ingredients: compassion (1) sees the suffering person, (2) feels tender pity in response to the suffering, and (3) acts to alleviate that suffering when possible. That sense of tender pity must be...
Kindness means showing mercy and doing good even to people who do not deserve it or who deserve the opposite. The term frequently refers to the Lord’s saving actions (e.g., Eph. 2:7; Titus 3:4). In the same way, Jesus calls us to be like God the Father, showing kindness even toward the ungrateful and rebellious: “But love your enemies, do good to t...
Humility means recognizing that all you have comes from God and that you are absolutely dependent on him as both your Creator and your Redeemer. Humility was no more valued in Paul’s day than it is in our day. Both worlds were, and are, populated by prideful people. People swaggered and strutted, like they do today. They admired dominance, self-ass...
Popular understandings of gentleness sometimes confuse it with weakness or femininity. This is a mistake. The apostle Paul was not a weak man. Yet he describes himself to the Thessalonians as “gentle among you” (1 Thess. 2:7; cf. 2 Cor. 10:1). Jesus was not a weak man. Yet he said of himself, “I am gentle and humble in heart” (Matt. 11:28–29). Some...
Several New Testament Greek terms can be translated as “patience.” One term connotes endurance under trial and perseverance amid hardship. But Colossians 3:12 uses a different term that primarily concerns relational patience—being long-suffering, long-fused, and long-tempered toward those who irritate us. William Barclay describes it as the ability...
Paul continues in verse 13, “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.” Forbearance—an older term for bearing with each other—is a synonym for relational patience. I appreciate the Bible’s realism. The apostle assumes that people will annoy us and that relationships become tense. Conflict is inevitable. ...
Not only will people irk us; they will sin against us. And so the apostle commands us in Colossians 3:13, “Forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.” Again we see the Bible’s realism: even brothers and sisters in Christ will sin against each other. Paul then issues God’s vertical standard for all horizontal forgiveness: “Forgive...
In Colossians 3:14 Paul concludes his list, “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” The apostle prioritizes love—our self-sacrificial giving for the other person’s best— as the most important virtue, the supreme relational grace. The binding image here apparently pictures love as that outer garment ...
Oct 12, 2024 · Colossians 3:15. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”. The peace of Christ should be the guiding principle in our hearts. As members of the body of Christ, we are called to live in peace with one another.
