Colossians
3
12 Since
God chose you to be the holy people he loves,
you
must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy,
kindness,
humility,
gentleness,
and
patience.
13 Make
allowance for each other's faults,
and
forgive anyone who offends you.
Remember,
the Lord forgave you,
so
you must forgive others.
14 Above
all, clothe yourselves with love,
which
binds us all together in perfect harmony.
15 And
let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts.
For
as members of one body you are called to live in peace.
And
always be thankful.
16 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives.
Teach
and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives.
Sing
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
17 And
whatever you do or say,
do it
as a representative of the Lord Jesus,
giving
thanks through him to God the Father.
I'm
not sure many people in our world would say that those attributes
listed above are being exemplified in Christians in America right
now.
