Paul continues in Colossians 3 encouraging us to put to death all of the old sinful remnants of our former lives, and in their place to “put on” as one would a garment all of the Christ-like characteristics with which our LORD Jesus has endowed us – particularly Christ’s love for all people, which binds all these Christ-like characteristics together in Him.
Paul begins the third chapter of his letter to the Colossians by reminding them (and us) that those who are “in Christ” – that is, everyone who has proclaimed Jesus as our personal Savior and LORD – have died to our former life of worldliness and sin and are reborn to new life in Christ. Therefore, Paul encourages believers to focus our lives upon Jesus and Heavenly things, forsaking not only our sins, but all the worldly pursuits, pleasures, and entertainments which might distract us from our relationship with Him.
