Colossians 3:14

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

Above what things? Above putting on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, above bearing with one another and forgiving one another, above all of these put on love. You can do all these things, you can prophecy or give all your goods to feed the poor, give your body to burned, but without love everything all of these are pointless, without love even the best of things are nothing. Obviously these other things are still needed, but they are to come as an outpouring of love.  1^st Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love covers a multitude of sins.”  Love is the bond of perfection, I believe that when we do everything with agape love that there is nothing that points more clearly and persuasively to our God, the author of agape.

Application-I will pray each day that God gives me the ability to love those he puts in my path with agape love.
