! I. COL 3:11
!! A. In Christ all distinctions are removed.
!!! 1. /Even //religious distinctions/, /slave or free/, it /doesn’t matter/ /who we are/.
!!!! a) /We are all //one in Christ/.
!!!!! (1) 1COR 6:17 Says, “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”*[1]*
!!!! b) /Believers// are truly/ /“//created equal//”/ /and/ /equal// //in// the //eyes of God//./
!
II.
COL 3:12-17
!! A. Going back to verse 12 which says, …(read)
!!! 1. /Again Paul called on/ /believers/ to /take/ a /decisive action/:
!!!! a) /Clothe yourselves/ (/NIV/, or /KJV/ /Put on/).
/Because they have/ /“put on the new self”/ (/v.
10/), /they should/ /live accordingly/, with /appropriate attributes/ /and/ /attitudes/.*[2]*
!!! 2. The /“elect of God”/ or /“God’s chosen people”/ /(NIV)/ /should be different/ /from the world/ /or the way people are/ /in the world/.
!!!! a) 1 Peter 2:9-11
!!!!! (1) Just in these verses alone, God is telling us to stop the fleshly desires, which are so common in the world.
!!! 3.
But /in verse 12/ /he is now/ /telling us not only/ /put off/ the /fleshly lust/ /but/ /now/ /we are to/ /put on/ /certain/ /attributes/ /because/ /we are/ the /children of Light/ or /that we are/ /“holy and beloved”/
!!!! a) The /1st/ one /he says/ is /“bowels of mercies”/
!!!! b) /“Bowels”/ /actually refers to the/ /inner parts/ i.e. /an organ/.
!!!!! (1) In this sense it refers to “the inner seat of passion.”
!!!!! (2) In the KJV it says, “bowels of mercies.”
In most other translations it rendered as “COMPASSION” it is a “HEARTFELT COMPASSION”
!!!! c) /Next/ he says, /“KINDNESS.”/
!!!!! (1) That doesn’t need much explanation, but I’ll just add this that the Strong’s adds “GOODNESS.”
!!!! d) The /next/ /in our list/ is /“HUMBLENESS OF MIND”/
!!!!! (1) That does mean “HUMILITY” or “THE HAVING A HUMBLE OPINION OF ONE’S SELF.”
!!!! e) /Next/ is /“MEEKNESS”/ /which is also/ /“GENTLENESS”/ /especially/ /with the/ /attitude towards others./
!!!! f) The /last one/ in /verse 12/ is /“LONGSUFFERING”/
!!!!! (1) Longsuffering is more then patience, but it has to do with “patience, endurance, constancy, steadfastness, perseverance.
slowness in avenging wrongs”.
*[3]*
!!!! g) Look at Gal 5:22-23
!!!!! (1) Here we see some of the same things that Paul is talking about in Col 3:12.
!!!! h) /We see it again/ in EPH 4:1-2
!!!!! (1) lowliness is “humbleness of mind,” meekness is “gentleness,” and longsuffering is “patience, endurance, constancy, steadfastness, perseverance, and forbearance.”*[4]*
!! B. In Col 3:13 he says, “Forbearing one another”
!!! 1. /Forbearance/ is kind of /a funny word/, /not used very much/,
!!!! a) The /NIV/ puts it this way, /“Bear with each other.”/
!!!! b) /Another definition/ is to /“TOLERATE AND ENDURE”/ It /also means/ /“ENDURE/, /BEAR WITH/, /PUT UP WITH/; /HEAR OR LISTEN TO WILLINGLY.”/
/Or/ /“ACCEPT”/
!! C. Next he says in V 13, “Forgiving One Another”
!!! 1. /How?/
/By forgiving as the Lord forgave them/, /graciously and freely/ *[5]*
!!! 2. /Grudges/ have /no place/ in a /Christian’s life/.
/They may lead to the sins/ /already mentioned/ in/ Colossians 3:8-9./*[6]*
!! D. COL 3:14
!!! 1.
The /NIV/ says, /“And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”/*[7]*
!!! 2. Look at 1COR 13:13
!!! 3. /Back to/ Col 3:14, /Paul says that this/ /LOVE/ /will/ /cause/ /in us a/ /“bond of perfectness.”/
!!!! a) Or really /binds us together in perfect unity/.
