A Beloved Bond

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
— Colossians 3:12-14 (NKJV)

The Beloved…

Knows it’s not about her. 

Your life is hidden with Christ in God. - Colossians 3:3


 Puts off the old life and walks in the new.

…according to the image of Him who created her. - Colossians 3:10


Has all she needs.

…Christ is all and in all. - Colossians 3:11


Is tender, kind, humble and meek.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering. - Colossians 3:12


Forgives even as she is forgiven.

Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. - Colossians 3:13


Is held together by love.

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. - Colossians 3:14
