Unity Part 3
Colossians 3:12-14
Recap
● When we began two weeks ago we saw that the key to unity within the
Body of Christ is love. Colossians 3:14-”Above all clothe yourselves with
love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.”
● Love and Unity go “hand-in-hand” with Love there will be no unity.
● Paul listed 8 important qualities that should be displayed in the lives of
those who are followers of Jesus Christ, and so far we’ve looked at: Love,
Compassion, Kindness, and Humility
● It all begins with Love which is the perfect bond of unity. We have identified
Love with the expression: Give of Yourself like Jesus Gives. The
Application: Be Like Christ
● The second quality we looked at was Compassion. We saw that
Compassion requires us to feel like Jesus feels. The Application: Be
Sensitive.
● The third quality that will build unity in the Church is Kindness. To make
that a reality we have to Treat Others like Jesus Treat Us. The Application:
Be Nice.
● Fourth Quality is Humility. We need to See Ourselves and Others as God
Sees Us. We do that by first seeing God correctly, and then, and only then
can we see ourselves and others through His eyes. The Application: Be
Humble.
