New Identity in Christ
Paul makes visible what was objectively accomplished at the cross.
Scripture: Colossians 3:12
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.
Thought: Paul does not write to people who still need saving. He writes to those already saved and seated. Original: חֵרוּת
Cross-references: 1 Peter 2:9, Colossians 1:13-14.
