Col 3 :12

"Therefore, as the elect of Christ, holy and beloved, PUT ON tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;"

We are the chosen elect of Christ. The bible calls us the chosen generation. Because of our position and heritage in Christ, we are already holy & loved by God....Being connected with God in the spirit, we are already holy. The word of God tells us that we are declared to be righteous, holy. We cannot be more righteous, therefore the futility of our works. It is not by works that man is saved, but by the grace of God, so no man can boast. We are loved dearly by God, He calls us His beloved. Nevertheless, we have to consciously WEAR, PUT ON the character of this new person (spirit) in us. The reborn of our being. We have to wear and put on not just once but daily (crucifying of the flesh) tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness and longsuffering. How mind boggling that statement can be. Why do I have to do that if I am already declared holy and beloved by my heavenly Father? Now I understand. We are tri-une, just as God is triune. Spirit, Soul & Body.

In the spirit, we are one with our Lord. We are accounted and declared as righteous. In the body, we are stewards of all that we have & receive. That includes our temperament and character. Our character is constantly being challenged by our Soul. The soul is soulish, it is carnal & constantly battling against the spirit. Therefore we have to make a conscious choice & decision to wear and put on Christ. Only in Christ, we are complete. Col2:10 "and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principalities and power."

"And I worship you Lord
My life in YOU restored
Here is my heart
Make it your sanctuary
For Nobdoy else but Jesus only you..."
