Christ is all and in all - and how we should be

 

Colossians 3: 11 to 25

According to verse 11 below, all are Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is in all too (the Holy Spirit is within those who have received the Holy Spirit), but except God, all are gods who know nothing and understand nothing, and God alone is the God who knows and understands (according to Psalm 82: 5 and 6). So, we should be fearless except having the fear of God. From verse 12, it is given how all we should be.

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Instructions for Christian Households

18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

21 Fathers,[c] do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.

The verses above show us how we should be but these things are also there:

Mathew 5: 44 - But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Romans 12: 18 - If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Colossians 3:17 NIV‬

[17] And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 

Whatever we speak (faith words, scripture-based words, loving words, etc - one thing or many things - but only those God likes) and do (eating, breathing, singing, etc - one thing or many things - but only those that God likes), we should do in the name of Jesus. This will avoid a lot of negativity. And since God doesn't want us to waste time and since all except our words are our deeds (since we are not statues), we can do according to this verse always.

The three persons comprising the God of Trinity - the Heavenly Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit - are equally God and equally Lord, and we can call all three of them and each of them as God as well as Lord (the Bible confirms these things - I researched this thoroughly but didn't note down the verses - will share soon). The name of Jesus is the name above all names (Philippians 2: 9 - 11). But God is one - which also the Bible says - he is in three forms as the Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, but he is one.
