Love as a Clothing Item

Colossians 3:14, says “Above all, clothe yourselves with love” (NLT) proving that love is a clothing item. If you think in physical terms it might sound ridiculous when The Bible tells us to put on love as a garment. But have you asked yourself what God wears as clothes? Psalm 104:2 says “The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment”. 1 John 2:10 says “Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble”. We can see then that to love is to put on light as a garment. In Genesis 1:26  we read “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness”. So, if we truly believe what God said, then we must “look up to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” of whom John 1:4 says “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind”. Jesus put on light as a garment to the extent that He oozed virtue from His clothes as we read in Mark 5:30 “And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?” So, let’s ask ourselves, are we putting on love/light every morning or are we putting on darkness/malice?
