The truth that God’s people are holy should shape how we see each other. The church is set apart for God. Think of each person in church in this way. It does not matter where he comes from, or what he did; see that he is now set apart in Christ, together with you.
This is important because in the end we are brothers and sisters. We are called to a new family as God’s people.
2 To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
