• Saturation with the Word of God - v. 16a



• Speaking/Singing Words of Grace - v. 16b



• Serve with wholehearted Gratitude - v. 17, 23

Concluaion - We need to put off the "old man" and resist the selfish spirit of this age...then put on the "new man" after the example of Christ. By His grace and help, we can "above all these things, PUT ON LOVE, which is the bond of perfection".
